Weekend review

Trevor and I had a full weekend this past weekend.  We left early on Friday to meet his dad out at the lease in Cuero.  I went out with Trevor for the evening hunt.  However, as Trevor was climbing into the blind he discovered that it was now home to many wasps.  We quickly found a tree with a lot of low branches that we could hide behind.  We only had one chair between the two of us, and since I wasn't planning on shooting anything I let Trevor have the good seat.  I found a good place to sit on the ground under the tree, but noticed that if the deer came I would not be able to see them because of the tall grass.  I ended up sitting in the tree so I could see over the grass.  It was fine at first, then the deer started coming and I couldn't move or I would spook the deer.  Three or so hours later I was very happy to be out of that tree.

I think I was pretty well hidden except for those pink rubber boots :)  But it was really muddy so those were very necessary.  I passed time in the tree by taking a lot of pictures:

 

I really loved the lighting so I wanted to try to get a good picture of Trevor in his element, here is my attempt:

"Hey Trevor"

"what?"

"look over here"

"no really look AT me"

"thank you, now was that so hard?"

We just did a lot of watching that evening, but the next morning apparently there was a deer massacre.  I say apparently because I have made it a new tradition to sleep through the morning hunt!  But I hear that between the two of them they shot 7 does and spikes.  The boys had a great time hunting, they kept talking about how it was so much more fun when you actually shoot things.  I had a great relaxing morning sleeping in and staying warm reading in my sleeping bag.

We headed back to Corpus in the early afternoon and had friends over that night for dinner, dessert, drinks, and dominoes for Bill's birthday.  We also made gingerbread men and decorated them... well the girls did at least.  Here are some pictures of our gingerbread men making:

And a shot of the birthday boy with his cake:

Sunday we went to church and saw Bill and Sarah's niece, Olivia, get baptized.  Then we went to lunch with Johnna and Robbie.  After a filling lunch we decided to take our much neglected bikes out for a ride.  We rode from our house to Ocean Drive and then followed the sea wall all the way the Selena statue.  I kinda forgot that we had to ride back home too!  I was doing fine all the way there and then started to feel it on the way home.  Man, I am out of shape!  I am definitely feeling it today :(  We finished the weekend off with a little 42 with Austin and Kylie, and then came home and slept like sore babies.
