Russell Family: Hunting/Camping/Halloween

Chauncy got drawn for Mule Deer this year with JJ and Steven, So they talked us wives to go out with them and camp. So we decided we would and so my mom and Dad and Jodi also came. It was fun having everyone there. The guys would get up early early and go out hunting and us girls and dad would just hang out at camp and check on the little boys and Kashlee every once in a while because they were just having so much fun being outside and being able to do what ever they wanted. They played buckin Bulls with the saddles. Went on little hikes and made creative swings with Aunt Jodi. She is the BEST aunt ever. We LOVE YOU!!! The little boys even got to go with the big boys out looking for deer, but from their report they only saw does. Us girls just stayed bundled up and hung out at camp and every once in a while we would go on a ranger ride. Jodi took mom, Aiden, Kashlee, Morgan and I on one of the roughest rides I have ever been on but it was fun to be able to talk and have fun. The weather was cold and windy so we kept Morgan and Cheyanne bundled up so much that they would get mad because they couldn't move. If the wind wouldn't have blown it would have been perfect. it warmed up on Sunday and Monday but the bad thing is the bees came. On sunday my family and Steven's family went on a Ranger ride to look for Chauncys Walkie Talkie that he lost luckily we found it and went we got back to camp at around noon we had to pack some stuff up and leave camp because the bees where so bad. so we headed over to the hay fields over in Bonita and looked for deer. we saw a bunch of does but no bucks. it was fun seeing some deer at least. we left at dark and went back to camp and cleaned up all the sodas and candy that was left out hoping the bees wouldn't come back. we woke up Monday morning to yep you guessed it bees. so Cim and I got snacks and toys and went up the road a little bit to escape the bees. Chauncy and Steven showed up around 1:30 to help us pack up to leave and they saw us away from camp so they asked what happened and we told them camp was full of bees so they left us there with the kids and started to pick up camp. about 3 hours later bees started attaching us again up where we were so I walked down to where the guys were and got the ranger and we went for a ride. we ended up leaving around 4:30-5:00.
Dad, JJ, Marlo, Justin and Kashlee left on Saturday to go back for the trunk or treat and the rest of us were going to just to Halloween out there and do our own trick or treat. Chauncy and Steven took Seth and Riley out with them hunting and didn't get back until dark and we still needed to do dinner so we decided we would just to our trick or treat in the morning. which was a good idea because there was a road around camp that we set up around for the kids to trick or treat around and there is no way they would have done it at dark plus we were able to see their cute costumes. I just made my costumes cuz I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a costume so I dressed Seth as a bar of soap (Seth says he was Mr. Bubbly) and Preston was Jelly Beans. they turned out pretty cute. Riley was Spiderman and Aiden was a frog. and Morgan and Cheyanne were cute little flowers. I think the kids had fun and they definitely got more and better candy then they would have at the trunk or treat. all in all it was a fun weekend.
We alll went home on monday but we decided to go out on Wednesday with Gavin since he come down to see us and we needed some thing to do. so we went out again and got a buck just before dark. Seth was all in to gutting it out, he wanted in on it. It didnt gross me out like I thought it would. we even saved the heart, Kindneys, liver and lungs for Jodi to take back to her anatomy classes. oh what a week.
