Antelope & Camping

Everyone who knows me is surprised when I say I went antelope hunting. I would be, too. But, the fact is, I only go for the company & the camping part of it all. I leave the hunting to Shane. Lex is all about the hunt as well and Isabel kind of just watches with curiosity. I don't know if she will ever be as into hunting as Lex seems to be which is fine with me!

On the lookout inside grandpa's truck. I was surprised last year to find out this was how the antelope were found. For some reason, I pictured in my head the need for hiding and hunkering down and such. Nope. The antelope kind of just stand there, mostly oblivious as to what is about to happen.

We spotted this guy during one of our hunting drives. That was pretty neat.

Shane's first antelope. He was allowed two and by the end of the trip, he did have his limit.


Lex & Isabel found these bones out in the field. They looked pretty clean & dry, but I'm still not too thrilled they are touching them. Oh well.


Lex's birthday landed on the last day of our trip, so we brought along a few presents to celebrate. We also went into "town" and had some pizza.

Isabel & I really enjoyed taking grandpa's ATV around camp. That's what she mostly wanted to do. She would laugh & giggle the entire drive. I want one of my own!

The drive to & from Wyoming through Weber canyon is amazing in how the mountains change so drastically from the trees at home to rock.

I often wonder why I don't see more of these being used for energy. I was just wondering why we don't see more of these when we spotted a train carrying the blades somewhere for new ones to be built.

And finally, our first glimpse of fall. Love it!

About Me

My photo
Shane and I met my senior year of high school in 1996 and were married in 2000. It's just crazy to think we've known each other for more than a decade and still learn new things about each other. We both graduated from the University of Utah. I have a degree in Finance and Shane has a degree in Biology. We are both enjoying jobs in our respective fields. Our favorite thing to do is travel. Before we started a family, we spent two weeks in Europe touring Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France. We want to see the world and hopefully take our children along with us when they are older. Our children are our life. Alexander "Lex" is our little man at 7 years old. He loves to try lots of new things. He's currently enrolled in soccer, tumbling & boys' hip hop. Isabel (or Bel as Shane likes to call her) is 3 1/2 years old. She is also enrolled in tumbling & dance. All in all, life is wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
