We had the opportunity to visit my brother (we'll call him Shooter - he knows why!) while he was hunting for a moose. The area he drew in was quite near my mother's ancestral home and so we were able to stay in the farmhouse she grew up in on what used to be my Grandpa's dry farm. The boys are quite enamored of The Farm and we all had a great time thanks to my aunt's generousity in allowing us to stay!
The boys spent the better part of two days with these clothespins. They made all sorts of shapes and animals and played games with them. So now I know what to get them for Christmas! 
If someone out there has an excess of that filthy lucre, send it my way because I wouldn't mind living with this view.
This is the house my grandparents built before moving to the Lower House after my great-grandparents died.
This is the one-room schoolhouse my mother and her siblings attended along with the other kids from neighboring farms.We did a little fishing/reconnaissance for moose one evening:
Here is where we put in the river. I thought the remnants of this old bridge looked cool.
While Shooter and The Mister took the other vehicle to the take-out point, the boys and I waited with the boat and I took this picture from the shore of the Teton River. Had we been up there a week later, I could have gotten a picture of the full moon rising over the Tetons.
Getting on the river. As you can see, MKIA is determined to go wading despite the fact that it is nearly sunset and the ambient temperature was probably below 50. Suprisingly, he ended up getting his pants wet and thought he would freeze to death before we reached the take-out and the car.I saw a moose as we were coming home from church on Sunday. Therefore, I was promoted to Moose-Spotter and went out later that evening to help with the hunt.
I may have been playing with the camera occaisonally.
I think Shooter may have shot the Baby Daddy of these moose.
Don't tell The Mister that I took the 4Runner down this 4-wheeler trail through one of the canyons!
Still playing with the camera!
In the end, the hunt was successful and Shooter shot his moose.
The boys weren't quite sure what to think of the moose. SP was torn between revulsion and wanting to hack a piece off and eat it right there. I think MKIA just wanted to see what SP was going to do.
