Anyone that knows us will realize that we tend to be rather active outdoor people, especially during hunting season. With excellent assistance this past weekend from Mandy and Eric, Anne figured out how to strap on the baby backpack and take Gwen for her first walk. It is amazing how a single piece of equipment, designed to make life simple, can have so MANY straps, buckles, latches, etc. Once we figured out how to run it all (and not accidentally eject dear Gwennie), it was off to the land of sage and searching for antelope. Eric did take his hunting rifle, however, daughter child decided midway through her snooze in the carrier that she wanted Dad to try his hand at things. Somehow, Anne's slow shuffle and short stature from the ground seemed to scare her. So, the hunting was officially put on hold (we'd have had to find a deaf antelope anyway.......) but it was great to get out and about. Mandy, Tim and Anna got to see more of the countryside and Anna enjoyed a well-deserved snooze in her mom's Moby Wrap. Weekend plans for House of Miller are to include another try, trading out on who shoots and who carries the babe!
Wow, the weather looks gorgeous. Are you sure that's Montana in October?
ReplyDeleteI agree, we got absolutely lucky and had unbelievable weather (it was about 70 degrees!)...I think we may have soaked up the last days of it though, it was in the 40s when we left. ;o)
ReplyDeleteGeez, at 70 degrees I was expecting pics of ya'll in bathing suits. ;-) Anyway, Mandy is rockin' that Moby Wrap. The Moby intimidates me. I should borrow you one of my pouches for a bit, Anne. I'm sure you'd love it. Anyway, lots of candy to eat this afternoon and so little time!
ReplyDeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteNice to see your starting Gwen out early. Sam is jelous since he has only been out on scouting trips, no hunting trips yet!!!
