Last Weekend in the Meadows ...

October 15, 2016

 

We headed back up to Mazur Meadows last evening ...

enjoying a quiet time by the campfire ...

When I awoke in the morning ...

I saw that John's truck was pulling up behind our trailer ...

John and his son ... Adrian ... were up early ... to go hunting ...

It was a successful hunt ... and now it was time to dress out the deer ...

and get it ready to take to the butcher ...

 

After lunch the guys decided to shoot a few rounds of shells ...

trap shooting with flying clay discs ...

 

Denise I decided to go for a hike ... to check out the fishing holes ...

while the guys were playing ...

Adrian had gone out hunting again with his dad ...

bringing back a grouse and rabbit ...

 

Rocko was making his special sauce again ... to have with penne this evening ...

Lindsay was in charge of the garlic bread and caesar salad ...

We managed to enjoy our dinner ... before the rain started to fall ...

Ranger and umbrellas kept us dry ... throughout the night ... sitting by the fire ...

This was our last evening to be together out in the wilderness ...

It was getting late and I was ready to call it a night ...

but before I said goodnight ...

I ended up making some "Grillers" for the guys ... as they were needing a midnight snack with their sociables ...

psst ...

I also knew once they would ingest some food ...

it wouldn't be long before they would be ready to call it a night ...

tee hee !!!

Everyone was busy ... packing up all their belongs ...

to head out of the meadows today ...

Once we were all packed up ... other than the quads and fishing poles ...

The four of us went for one last ride ...

and try out the fishing spots ...

We could see the fish swimming in the ponds ... hoping to catch one ...

we did have a few nibbles ...

but Rocko was the only one that caught a trout ...

This one released back into the water ...

It had started to rain a bit ... so we left the fishing spots ...

and just went for a ride to the other side of the creek ... up to the mountain ...

I was happy that I put on my rain gear ....

Upon returning back to the campsite ... the quads were put onto the trailers ... now ready to go ...

We did have a quick lunch ... roasting smokies over the campfire ...

before making our journey home ...

We thoroughly enjoyed all our weekends ...

here at Mazur Meadows ...

 

 

 

 

On The Hunt ...

April 14 - 16, 2016

Nathan, grandchildren and his hunting buddies ... (a group of 5)...

arrived Thursday evening ... for a weekend of hunting Wild Turkeys ...

There was a pot of spaghetti sauce made with fresh pasta and salad for the gang ...

After dinner they dressed in their hunting gear ...

and headed out to locate some Wild Turkeys ...

The guys headed out early this morning on the hunt ...

intending to spend the whole day out in the area ...

They came back once it was dark ... seeing and hearing turkeys ... calling them ...

but were unable to hunt on some of the private areas ...

The guys then cooked up dinner ... Nathan was in charge of the spuds ...

and John was going to BBQ ...

marinated elk steaks ...

Later they headed out to the shop to discuss their day ...

as well as taking the time to relax in the hot tub ...

before they called it a night and headed to bed ...

to get up early in the morning ...

for another full day of hunting ...

 

April 16, 2016

The guys came back from their morning hunt ...

to have lunch ...

Mike and the grandchildren had gathered wood ...

and started the fire in the fire pit ...

to have a feast of hot dogs and hamburgers ...

grilled over an open fire ...

Once their hunger was satisfied ...

they went out hunting with the quads ...

for a couple hours in the afternoon ...

wanting an early dinner so we would not be eating at 10:00 again ...

Mike and I had started dinner ...

wanting to have most of the food cooked by the time the hunters came back ...

The guys were informed that the Halibut fish would not be cooked ...

until they were all here sitting at the table ...

Grilled potatoes ... vegetables ... corn on the cob were ready ...

now it was time to fry up the fish ...

Everyone filled up their plates ...

and once they were seated ... not a word was spoken for a few minutes ...

almost could hear a pin drop ...

well ... except for the mmmmmmm's ...

I continued to cook up the Halibut ... grinning listening to the chatter ...

for dessert I had made a ... first of the season ...

fresh Huckleberry Pie ...

the hunters had never tasted Huckleberries ...

just unheard of for me ... these guys from Alberta ...

The guys ventured out on their last evening for hunting ...

arriving back once it was dark ...

and again going out to the shop for sociables ...

to talk about their days ...

Ending the evening ... relaxing in the hot tub ...

Nathan's hunting buddies left the next day ...

packing up their belongings while I made breakfast ...

Once they were all packed up we enjoyed ...

a hardy breakfast of eggs ... hash browns ... pancakes ... and a plate of fresh fruit ...

It was an exciting ... busy ... fun filled ... weekend ... !!!!

I would do it all over again in a heartbeat ... !!!

 

 

Still Working ...

March 13, 2016

It's Sunday morning and the gang wanted homemade waffles and eggs ...

before they headed outside to ride their dirt bikes ...

Nathan helped Mike insert the panes of glass ...

that were pushed out from the snow off the roof ...

that had crashed into them early this year ...

Nathan brought his Compound bow to get some practice ...

shooting the arrows into the target bag ...

and setting the sights ...

James went out to the shop to help out with tightening bolts on the VW ...

Ella continued working on her walking stick ...

and

Craig continued to tear apart an old cassette deck ... to gather wires and electrical gear ...

Oma and Joe came out to visit ...

they were brought into the shop to see the work that was being done ...

Ella demonstrating how her walking stick works ...

and then we all went outside to watch the kids ride their dirt bikes ...

Something that Oma just loves to watch ... !!!

 

 

Good Hunt ...

Nathan helping to pack out the Elk ...

from the Skoocumchuk area ...

Looks like they had a great day ... !!!

Well done guys ... !!!
