Bryce's Spike Elk!!

Bryce did it! And With his BOW!! Here is the story.
So Bryce took me on the back of his motercycle to "MY" Sitting spot on Friday night so I could wait for a white tale deer. Then Bryce took off to go bugle for the elk! After I herd him bugle I instantly herd a bugle below me and some cow "mews" then I herd a bugle above me! It was crazy well Bryce wanted to wait for morning to go after them! Saturday Morning Bryce drops me off at my spot again, its 7:10 am then he takes off down the trail. Next thing I here is bryce saying I herd one and I am going agter it! Then about 7:50 am Eric (bryces brother) drives by and says Bryce shot a spike! He did it I am so proud of him! He said it came in about 26 yards when his radio went off and the elk looked at him and in that moment Bryce took the shot! The Elk took off then Bryce called to it and Bryce herd him stop and then fall! It took only 5 seconds! It was great! It may be just a spike but it is elk meet and we love it!!!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!!

So We had to wait out the rain to go retrieve the elk! It rained for 5 hours straight! It was crazy! The gang (Eric, Amber and kids and Mike and Anne, And Bryce and I) we started out at the fire and ended up in our tents sleeping and talking back and forth from Eric's tent! Then the boys finally were able to go get the Elk off the mountain! Then we had to skin the elk and get it ready to take home! So finally we loaded up and headed home! It was a long day of rain!

Emily's Black Eye

Emily was playing at a cousins house and fell on her bed! She cried pretty good and when I got in to her I couldn't tell what was wrong but as I sat there a little blue mark on her head came and got bigger and bigger by the second. Soon it was huge right in between her eyes. Bryce called her "Spock"! He is mean! As the days went on it fell in to her eyes and she looked very sad!
