Family Fun Between Hunting Seasons

It is in between hunting seasons in Colorado and today was a holiday. It isn't often that you get the three of us together with "nothing" to do, but today seemed to be a day for Hank, Mia and the Little Gal. We did some chores and then took the opportunity to spend quality family time together. …
