Settlers of Catan

 I love this game so much! I wish all the kids liked it but only Boaz and Felicity will play with us. It is a pretty long game. Daddy was the winner this time! :)  

OH DEER...

 A few weeks ago some dear friends took Eleanor and Athanasius deer hunting. They had such a good time! We were so surprised they both got one. Boaz went out the next day and hit one but didn't go down. They followed the blood trail for a while but it started raining and they lost it. We were afraid he would be pretty bummed but then our friends took him to lunch and it seemed any sadness from his lost deer was forgotten. 

What you don't see in this picture was the huge cooler below the table so full of meat. It took us five hours to work it all. Clay and the boys were the main processors, so proud of them!! We learned a lot and I can think of a few things that will make it easier and quicker next time.
