Can't Silence These Lambs: October Trip to Delight

We took our first fall Hunting trip to Delight in October. We actually thought we were going down for youth hunt, and it turns out it was a special weekend that Mike could have hunted (with a gun not a bow, etc). We mainly went down to visit and to cheer on Haleigh who is Max's 7 year old cousin that was going to hunt for the first time. We had a fun weekend as always in Delight. Haleigh shot her first deer!!! We also went to an estate auction, listened to the Hog game on the radio, and carved pumpkins. Eventhough we had to had to head back early to make it for our open house on Sunday, we were glad to we got to make the trip down. The next trip down is next week on official open rifle deer hunting weekend. Mike actually takes vacation days for that one and we'll be down for a while. We always look forward to that weekend.

Below are some pictures of our trip

We stopped at McDonalds on the way down and got the boys something to eat. The Happy Meals were neat this month and came in a bucket with stickers!

I got my usual $1.19 caramel Sundae

Max fell asleep like this! His box of chicken next to his head. Me and Mike got a good laugh out of this. I took a picture, than of course put everything back in his bucket for when he woke up.

Alex enjoyed his brother taking a nap, we let him watch a baby can read movie, he loves those.

Max was still asleep at our first stop so we spoiled Alex a bit and let him stretch his legs and pretend to drive while me and Mike took turns going to the bathroom.

It was pretty foggy on the way down there with a little bit of traffic. It added to our time a little bit, but luckily we made it there safe.

Bubba had gotten a bow an arrow before heading down to Delight. Alex loved it. Here is Shannon letting Alex have a turn. Max loved it too...in fact now Santa is bringing Max one for Christmas - only the elves are making Max's. (Wish the elves goodluck)

Here we are at the Delight Estate auction. This was the hit of the town on Saturday and we were right in the middle :)

We left the kids mostly asleep at the House with Nathan. We took Alex with us...and he ended up sleeping some in teh stroller at the auction.

We got some neat stuff from the auction. It was actually only a few houses down from where Mike's parents live. MIke got an old wooden radio/speaker cabinet thing (that's the best I can explain it) for $2 he is excited about working on some day. His mom also got a few things and so did Shannon! HEre is Mike's mom coming home from the auction in her new chair.

The older kids hanging out on the couch playing the 2 ipads.

Shannon held Sleepy Alex

Time to carve pumpkins! I'm glad Shannon thought about this idea. We carve pumpkins with Max and Alex every year - actually Me and MIke have also carved a pumpkin every year that we've known each other - so this year it was fun to carve one with everyone else around too.

Here is a picture of MiMi trying to convince Alex his pumpkin was not scary...this didn't work. Alex was not fond of his pumpkin.

Haleigh AND Shannon's pumpkin. Shannon worked about an hour on this pumpkin. Wasn't it worth it Shannon? I think it turned out cute. Go Hogs Go.

All of ths kids pumpkins.

I thought this picture turned out cute for how dark it was. Here are all of the kids behind their pumpkins. (well except for Alex who was scared of his )
