Last weekend we made a road trip to Utah to see Jeremy's family. Jeremy has told Cole and Bryce numerous stories about "the annual Hansen family deer camp" that his family journeyed on every year when he was growing up. Another hunting season arrived and some of his family was planning to hit the Manti LaSalle Mountains, near Moab, UT. Of course, Jeremy and the boys wanted to go.
Soooo, the plan was for Jeremy and the boys to make the trip to UT for this hunting/camping experience. However, as the time came closer for them to leave for UT and as I thought more about missing my boys, I thought maybe...just maybe...I would join them.
Jeremy did remind me that in all the years I have known him and that we have been married, I have never been on "the annual deer camp" with him.
Jeremy did remind me that in all the years I have known him and that we have been married, I have never been on "the annual deer camp" with him.
In fact, his participation in the annual outing has dwindled after we were married. Bryce also said to me, "But Mom...I will miss you...and who will I cuddle with?" It was a crazy rush of packing and accomplishing numerous tasks, but we did it and all went on the trip to UT. I must say, after it was all over, I had an amazingly fun time with Jeremy, his family, and the boys and I think we just may have created some unforgettable memories for our boys.
We enjoyed getting to see Jeremy's parents, a sister, and brothers and their families. We wished we would have had time to stop and see all of his other brothers and sisters, but our time in UT quickly came to an end. Cole and Bryce absolutely loved playing outside with their cousins for a couple days, while we camped. Thanks to Corrinne for being Bryce's constant companion on the trip. Bryce barely knew I was there because he was always attached to his "Corrinny." I have included several pics from the trip. Jeremy's niece, Sadie, got her first deer and his brother, Bart, got another.
