The old men pondering life.
Taking a break in the big meadow.
Finally at the tent site--4 miles and 2 hours later. Quite a hike.
Our water supply at the site--fresh spring water.
Tim conquering the tent.
Hiking down to the fishing hole behind the cabin.
Uncle Erich and Tim doing a little flyfishing.
We hiked up to the tent on Monday to hunt the upper meadows--quite cold and lots of snow.
Warming up--probably in the low 20's.
5 hours later, the view from the top.
Lunch at the top.
The upper meadow.
Packing up.
The big meadow on the way back to the cabin.
On the way back from the tent, we ran across some Elk tracks and followed them for about 90 min and then we ran across two sets of Grizzly tracks along the way. We then followed those tracks and ran across this--a warm deer, covered all up with sticks and leaves. The bears just made the kill, covered it up and then they come back later for the meal. We quickly left the woods.....
Buddy's first tooth came in yesterday morning--it is bottom left center as you look at him (little white speck). Sorry its so blurry, but he was being fussy for the pic. Mom is really excited about feeding time!
Sneaking up on Dad as he packs up for his hunting trip.
Where have these past two years gone? Seems like only yesterday I was on the boob and sitting in my Bumbo. I'm older and wiser now and I've now moved on to sippy cups and booster seats, afternoon naps and sandbox time, but I'm still that same carefree, idealistic guy who thinks the world is my oyster. Sure, I'm a little jaded from life, but don't let these hard edges fool you. I'm still that lovable guy at heart and still love to bang on my drums, eat meat and watch Choo-choo. I am always up for a playdate and some playground time. Big slides don't scare me, so don't be afraid as I climb the tower and launch down the twists. After all, I'm a big boy and I wear big boy undies.
