Deer

There was no school today, and it was the opening day of deer season, so Cahl and Tristan got up super early and headed out hunting. This is Tristan's first year as a real licensed hunter, and he was so excited about buying his license and tag, and going out for his deer. They headed west toward Weiser, found a spot, and waited until it got light. They found a small herd pretty early, and Tristan shot his first doe! They made a quick day of it, getting home and getting the deer skinned out and to the butcher shop by early afternoon. Tristan is so happy and proud of his little deer, who weighed in at an impressive 76 pounds. He cannot wait to make jerky!

Aquarium

Cahl and I had a free day, so we took Brinley down to the aquarium. She had so much fun feeding and touching all the fish, and today she was super excited about feeding the birds.

Overnight

Tristan's scout troop went on an overnight campout last weekend up at Cascade Lake. They  had a lot of fun, even though it rained the entire time and a few of the boys woke up in tents full of puddles. But none of them seemed to mind too much. And I'm guessing that the most fun was had practicing tomahawk throwing, since that's all I've heard about for the last few days :)

Football Game ~ Jasen

This week Jasen had a first-thing-in-the-morning game, and it was cold! We got to the field around 8am, and it was 32 degrees out! The field was covered in frost, and I sure felt bad for the kids who were about to get tackled on it. Jasen's team played a team from Middleton, who showed up undefeated so far this season. Due to conflicting jersey colors, we wore dark blue today, and Jasen was number 63. Our team came out on fire, and scored on the initial kickoff! It was a great game, and our Cardinals played amazingly well, winning the game 32-6. Jasen even played kicker today, for 1 kickoff!

Football Game ~ Tristan

This week was Tristan's last football game of the season. His school played Lake Hazel, and unfortunately they lost both games again. Tristan played well, and had a sack. The final score for the B game was 34-20 (I think). So now the A team will go on to the playoffs, but there are not playoffs for the B teams, so they are done for the season.
