Chase and I were supposed to go up North hunting and taking my cousin's senior photos at Grandma's a few weeks ago, and Chase came down with a sickness. So I ventured up to Grandmother's house with my parents, and had an absolute blast!! It is always so relaxing to just sit around up in the Northern woods, with hot coffee and a puzzle. Even a few deer showed up, wandering around the yard while letting me snap some photos. I've seen plenty of deer in my life, but watching them in their habit was pretty incredible... they're such a majestic animal. My uncle and I were able to sneak outside without scaring them off, and he threw an apple at one, which hit its leg, and it just looked back at the apple and then kept on with its business. It was absolutely hilarious. I'm so excited to spend another weekend up there in a few days... even though the purpose of this trip is to kill the deer. And no, I will not be partaking in the hunt.... only enjoying the peace and stillness of those Northern woods (and Grandma's cooking and company, of course).
My grandpa built a shack in the woods with the intention of bringing all of us grandkids to go hunt and have sleepovers out there. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer took him away from us too soon. I feel like the older I get, the harder it is for me to visit this shack. But it's pretty awesome that my cousin wanted to take some photos in it...
When you have two uncles who have been overseas fighting, you never know what they will bring out when we get to Grandma's. Sometimes it's night-vision goggles, other times it's big machine guns, and then there's this...
