Which in our family means
Camping....
and
Football...
Well it was a bit too cold to go camping a few weeks ago, but we were too excited with all of our camping stuff... so we set up camp...
In our apartment....
In the Gilbert family we have a joke saying we always need the "bigger hammer" well... apparently Dustin fits right in, because the tent he bought is an 8 man, 18 x 11 foot tent.... it took up most of our living room! Our neighbors came over when we had set it all up and were chillin in the tent with us and said "You guys need to buy some blow up furniture on Ebay and you can have a living room and bedroom when you're up camping!"
The HUGE tent and my very proud husband setting it up
Eventually it warmed up enough to REALLY go camping- but it was tax season so we didn't have time... so we had to go as soon as we could! This last weekend Dustin and I, his 4 best friends, and their wives all went camping up in Thistle! It was so much fun!
Friday night we just hung out, sat by the camp fire, talked, played games, and watched a movie on the projector...
Saturday morning we had to get up early because the boys all had a football game up in Provo at 9:30... it's their second to last game of the season, and I finally took some pictures... oops!
Dustin was the "offensive coordinator" this game because their playing hasn't exactly been ideal lately- so they turned offensive play calling over to him, and defensive play calling over to his cousin!
This is Dustin and Chance- they have been best friends since junior high- they really are more like brothers than best friends... it's kinda ridiculous! Chance's wife and I were saying the other day that it's a good thing we really like each other, because both of our husbands have informed us that it wouldn't matter if we didnt.... we have to be friends... it's not an option :)
This play was with a minute left in the game... and Dustin got hurt... He has a really really bad high ankle sprain! Everybody at the game was determined it was broken except Dustin, who had it confirmed by my sparty pants sister and brother in law... the medical geniuses in our family. His foot is about 2x it's normal size and bruised down into his toes... it's nasty!
After the game, we headed back up to Thistle and Dustin and I went on a 4-wheeler ride to try out his new scope for his 22 that he got for his birthday!
(he thinks he's pretty bad-a)
It was so pretty! Of course, I love nothing more than being around farm/ranch ground so I was in heaven!!! I realized that I took like 50 nature shots.... and one of Dustin and I. As previously stated... I fail!
Then it was hunting time....
Rock Chuck #1- you can't really see it on this pic unless you blow it up, but it's on the red wood pile....
My husband shooting rock chuck #1...
All the boys playing Annie-Oakley.... They are all awesome shots so it was impossible to get a video of more than one of them shooting at the clay pigeons... so I just chose one where Dustin shot!
