Gunderson Adventures.... where all 6 of Us live life to the fullest!

We headed for Duluth last Sunday after church to take the boys to the EdgeWater Hotel and swim at their incredible water park! The water park is perfect for kids under 5 years old. The boys had a blast swimming and going down the water slides! Andrew was going down head first until he got into a little trouble from the Lifegaurd. Totally not like our well mannered Drew to be so adventurous! Micah loved the splashing water and swimming on his tummy in the shallow water. It was so good for all of us to leave home for a few days and refresh! Here are a few pictures of us having some great family time.

This weekend i had the opportunity to go out and take part in my very first deer hunt.  I went out friday night with my friend Dan Ruelle and his son to his shack about 40 miles from town.  We hung out for the night and i asked a ton of what if questions, and they laughed at me with my lack of hunting knowledge.  We had a great time hanging out.  In the morning we woke up so early i did not realize that that time of day existed, but it does.  We headed out to our stands at about 6AM and sat there for about 3 1/2 hours.  I headed in to the house and saw a deer way off but not a good shot so i let it go.  after lunch we walked around the woods hoping to spook something up but did not see anything.  I went back to my stand at about 3 PM and sat until dark.  The sun set at about 4:40 and the gun fire was all around me, but i still saw nothing.  Just as the frustration of a cold day in the woods set in, a buck walked out of the woods about 50 yards to my north.  As i got set up for the shoo...

Here are our little Fire Fighters! They went to the Fire Station a few weeks ago with ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) and were sold on becoming Fireman! We have taken down several fires (pretend) around the house in the last week. The boys had a blast trick-or-treating with GG this weekend and pretending they were true fire fighters!
