Camping with Gma Grace and Gpa Dale

 It turns out Coulson is a pretty good shot with the pellet gun.  
He brought down a squirrel that was way up in a tree.  
Grandpa Dale was one proud grandpa.  

Seth told Coulson that if he killed it he would have to eat it.
So, he did.  First, they roasted it over the fire...
 Then he ate it.  
The whole thing.  
He shared some of it with Gpa and Daddy,
the other kids gave it a nibble and declared it disgusting, 
but Couls said it was delicious!


Most of the time this is what we saw of the kids.
Blurs driving by on the four-wheelers.  
They had such a great time, Quinn didn't ever want to take the helmet off.





 We took a picnic lunch to Manning Reservoir, where we played on a fun cutt throat trout spawning thing.  It was an optical illusion, when you were standing straight up it looked like
 you were about to fall over.  We all had a good laugh!


 Upper Box Creek Reservoir


 Coulson caught a fish, but that's not all he caught...

 He also caught a Blue Grouse or Pine Hen. 
Don't worry he let it go after we convinced him it would not make a good pet.


Our successful bone hunters...

  created this guy from all their bone treasures!

This was our last summer adventure before school started.  We all had such a great time I'm glad we got to spend it up on the mountain with Grandma Grace and Grandp Dale!
