Hunting Trip Part 2

In our last post about hunting, I said that I would post more pictures. However, instead of posting more from that trip, I'll do some from the latest trip that we took, which was a few days after Christmas.

Unfortunately, we did not get anything this time. Daddy and Peter shot at one deer each, wounding them, but couldn't find them, and had to stop searching so we could come home. :-(

This sweet little kitten is Buttercup... The Clarke's were in Michigan when we went hunting, so we took care of this kitten until we left. We all wanted to take her home with us, but mommy is convinced that three cats are enough. :-)

Okay... So this picture has a story. One afternoon, while daddy and Peter were taking a break at the house, I decided to take a walk... I had intended to just stay near the house, so I didn't tell anybody... Which was not wise. So, I wandered around and found myself with the big pond between me and the house. I was in a rather adventurous mood, so I decided not to turn around, but to keep going! Eventually I came to a narrow strip of land that ran across the pond like a bridge, so I crossed it, and found myself unable to go on because of the electric goat fence... I followed the fence, and after awhile came to a part that wasn't electric. So, I attempted several times to climb the fence without succeeding, and when I finally did climb it, I got over only to discover that somewhere along the way I had lost my orange vest.... So, back over the fence I went and back-tracked until I found it, which thankfully was not very far. I then re-climbed the fence, now being in the goat-pen. I traveled up to where the shed was, and where all the goats stood staring at me. By the shed is the gate, and beyond the gate is the house, so I easily let myself out of the pen, and was finally walking away from the goats (who were still staring at me) to the house. Mommy and Chloe had been wondering where I was, but thankfully I was safe and sound. I had been wearing a skirt, and it was raining and the ground was slippery, so my legs were all scratched up from the thorns and brush. So, Chloe was bandaging me up when the above picture was taken. Now I know to be more careful next time... Although I must say, it was quite an interesting experience.
