Well, we’re home and empty handed. Sid and Hamilton shot a few times but didn’t get a deer. Bennett saw a few but none really close enough to shoot. Bennett and I decided to come home and start unpacking today. He had basketball practice tonight so he didn’t want to be to worn out besides he was getting disappointed that he didn’t see much.

It was so cold Thurs night through Saturday that it was pretty miserable camping. It was low in the teens at night and high during the day around 35 but wind chills in the low 20′s. Today was beautiful, sunny and about 50 but Bennett and I was ready to just forget it. I know my heart wasn’t into it and I don’t think his was either with our friends sick.

Hamilton and I sat in a blind one night and saw a few doe’s. Below is a pic of him setting up our decoy. That’s the closest we got to a deer! He is so cute calling in the deer with his grunt calls. He went hunting with Sid a lot and this was the first year he didn’t fall asleep. The boys really do like it. Maybe next time it will be warmer and we will have better luck. Below is a pic at my Dad and Mom’s pond where we camp by, it was beautiful seeing the sun rise and set each day.

We will not get a blood test in the morning, it will be next Monday. Bennett took his last dose of steroids yesterday for this month. He seems to be feeling okay. We pray for his counts to stay good and no sickness. He has basketball games Monday and Tuesday night at home.

Thank you for checking in, your prayers,  love and support.
