Weekend with the Parentals

This weekend my mom and dad came to visit us. We had a fun time with them! It was the first time that they came and were able to stay for more than one night. Friday morning we were able to take them hunting, and I think they must be good luck! We saw hundreds of birds! We had a great time hunting and being together Saturday morning, my dad and Ryan made the drive back out to the lease for another morning of hunting and they saw even more birds than the day before! While they went hunting for the morning, my mom and I did some shopping. Their visit sure was enjoyable for us. We don't get to see them much. Here are some pictures from the weekend...

A sigh of relief...

Finals are over! Hooray! We can't wait to enjoy this month that we have off from the worries of school...

This past weekend Ryan and I and our friends, Brian and Brandon, all went hunting. It was alot of fun and we really enjoyed it!! It was really cold and started to really rain on us, but the thrill of hunting is so worth it!!! We shot one goose...lol...i know we didn't do that well. o well. Other fun events were...

1. almost getting stuck in the ditch (thanks to me). I was sweating bullets.
2. walking to the truck in the pouring freezing rain. I don't recommend it.
3. watching three grown men freeze their butts off.
4. stalking a flock of geese only for them to fly away just before we were within shooting range. You would think we could outsmart some birds, geez.
5. driving around only to find out the birds were everywhere that we were not.

And for whatever reason...we want to do it again!!! :) This weekend my mom and dad are coming to visit us and go hunting with us. Maybe this cold weather and having my parents there will bring us good luck. Let's hope so.

AND I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Mom and Dad. My Dad's birthday was on Monday, the 10th, and my Mom's birthday is today, the 12th. My Dad turned 47 and....MY MOM Turned FIFTY!!!!!!!!!!! The big 50!!!!!! How does it feel mom!!!!?? :):):)
