Deer Camp at the VandeLunes







You can make any of these pictures bigger just by double clicking on the picture. Chris' brother Brad, his Uncle Ron, Cousin Mitch, My sister Karen's husband (MN) and Twins husband (travis) came for some deer hunting this weekend. Chris wanted to take his hanging buck down from last night to get a picture with the boys' deer. IT was a little stiff and the boys were a little tired thinking they were funny riding the deer.

More deer for the group







Travis, Ron and Chris (MN) got bucks this weekend.

The boys with their godfathers







Uncle Brad was with Joel when he shot his doe. Christian's godfathers got Buck's too. Uncle Travis and Uncle Ron.

Joel shot another doe!
















Joe filled his tag with a big doe. He was very excited! And Chris got an 8 pointer, but smaller 8 pointer than Christian. Christian has pointed that out a few times! I was so excited for my boys!

Christian's first deer!




Christian shot a great 8 pointer for his first deer. He was so excited.
