We traveled down to the Paunsagaunt (spelling?) for 8, count 'em 8, days for some fun, rest and relaxation! The kids had a blast: shooting BB guns, fishing the creek and Tropic Reservoir, swimming in Tropic, riding 4-wheelers, and just flat out running amuck with out a care in the world.

Grandpa's cabin on The Ranch that he used when he was a boy herding sheep back in the day. Someone had gone in and stripped it down to nothing. Took an old stove and basically trashed the place. It had an old leather sofa bed that had been ripped to shreds by animals and junk everywhere.

The two mighty hunters! They shot this chipmunk at the same time. They had lots of fun shooting BB guns and trying to kill everything in sight!

The collection of grasshoppers the kids had for fishing in the creek. They were so excited yet I don't think they even used one grasshopper.

Our campsite on the first day. We had a blast swimming, fishing, roasting marshmallows, shooting BB guns, riding 4-wheelers, making traps and catching chipmunks and squirrels. For 8 LONG days we did nothing but eat, sleep in, relax, play and have fun. But boy was I glad to be back to my own bed and a nice, hot, long shower!!! Whew! 8 Days was long enough for this pregnant camper!

Trying to fish the creek. It was very hard because you couldn't stand right over the water or the fish would see you. So you had to stand back about 20 feet and cast into the creek which was only about 4 feet wide in some places, 6 feet in others. But it was still a challenge.

Swimming at Tropic Reservoir with Cedar, Mason, Ty, Cade, Sadie, Justin, Ky, Corbin, and Shay. My parents invited their neighbors the Briems and two of their grandkids. They fit right in and we all had fun getting to know each other. Mason and Ky were the same age and became fast friends. Never left each others side all week.

Another mighty hunter with his haul!
