Scouting for ELK

 Do you see anything Marcus?
 For the fist little bit of our day Maleen couldn't figure out what in the world was going on and why she was allowed to get sooo dirty.
 I'm one lucky wife and mom.
 Few things make Marcus more happy than a day outside with his gun.
 If it flies it dies.
 Toward the middle of the day we saw some elk.
We decided to stop and take a closer look. 
 Nathan was very excited to see some nice bulls.
 Maleen was soooo dirty.
But still soooo darn cute.
 I must say I was also pretty excited to see the bulls.
 The side of the mountain the Elk were on.
 Marcus also got in on the action checking out the elk through the binocs.
 I just love these two.  They dug in the dirt for ages together.
He just couldn't pull himself away.

Nathan drew his elk tag this year.  I know in some places that is not big deal but in Nevada it is basically a once in a lifetime draw.  So it is very exciting.
We took our last free weekend before regular football games started to go up to Nathan's area and scout.
We had such a great day.

I think these pictures are really fun. It looks like everyone had a great time. I especially love the picture of Maleen with her hands on her face like "Oh man!" and dirty. And Marcus pumping his gun. I love these kids!
