Last weekend in August and our Labor Day fun
































These last few weekends have been full of fun. Last weekend we went camping up in the Snowy Range area. We really didn't see many deer or elk but saw lots of poo that let us know they are there. We went biking and hiking and while we were hiking Dan spotted a bull moose laying down so we took some time to call him in so we could see his real beauty. On the hike we saw a golden eagle and a green caterpillar. We also saw a wolf dog on our way to camp and he visited our camp and then on the way out we saw him again. We at first thought he was a wolf but when he was closer to us at our campsite we felt he was just a dog that was lost. So sad to think he is still out there I gave him food and told Dan if he stuck around we would bring him to the animal shelter but sadly he ate the food and left and then we saw him on our way out and he would not come to us. We played with flashlights for entertainment at night. Mostly because I was paranoid of bears. We also used a dutch oven to cook with and I have come to realize that pizza on the fire is not for the Dunns to make because we burnt our pizza again!! The only other thing that we experienced while camping was a serious thunderstorm that washed the road out and Dan had to practice his backing up skills with a trailer I might add on a very narrow mountain road=) Dan did great even though I really didn't have much faith in him... I know I am bad but it really didn't seem like we were making progress but obviously we made it out and Dan did a super good job.

This weekend we went down to Rock Springs and hung out with the Jorgensens for the weekend. We left Friday and the older boys went out hunting with their bows so Natalie, Parker, Jace and I went to dinner and after we put Jace to bed we watched a chick flick. The boys arrived back late and told us the were so close to some really big bull Elk but didn't even know they were there. Saturday the boys left early in the morning to hunt again so we hung out in the morning Jace and I went for a walk and Jace got to play with his cousin Parker. Jace really wants to be big like his cousins!! Parker had some friends come to get him to play outside and Jace was adamant that he go to so we all went outside to play with the "big boys". That afternoon we went out to the lake and played in the water. I think we all enjoyed our time lounging in the sun and playing with our children. We spent Sunday morning lounging around and just hanging out. we enjoyed having a relaxing weekend with Dans sister and her family. They are always so good to us and we can't thank them enough for having us this past weekend.
