Fun at Grandpa and Grandma's

The first part of our vacation week was pretty cool and rainy, so it gave us lots of time to perfect indoor games:  Game Cube, Game Boy, card games, etc.  We did sneak outside a bit when the weather broke for us.  All in all, a great week up north!!!

Checking out the deer stand:

Just to give you an idea of how high it is:

Kyle peeking over the edge:

Kyle and Carter thought it would be funny to pelt me with sticks as I tried to take their picture from down below:

Apparently, really funny!

The descent (Carter wanted to do it "all by myself"):

Peeking through the ladder at me:

Watching Kyle come down the tall ladder:

Mom's hay bunk (isn't it gorgeous?):

Carter learned to play Game Boy this week:

The bear bait station:

Closer look at the bait.  They built this station in hopes of bringing the bear back.  There has been no sign of him for the past few weeks, basically since Kyle passed his gun safety course and got his bear license!
