Geach Family: A weekend in Hurley and Camp

For those of you who know us well know that Hurley, WI, and especially the deer hunting camp, are places we visit often. Colin made his first trip to Hurley when he was 2.5 months old and has been going there every few months since then. This past weekend we headed up to Hurley Friday night and spent the night at the Hurley house (this seems to be the new name for it since there is now a second house near by that is Jason and Melissa's house). On Saturday morning we got up and started getting ready for a trip into camp. This was going to be Colin's first sleepover in camp. Before heading out Colin needed a 4 wheeler ride with Daddy. He loves anything that he can "drive" with Daddy.

We made our way into camp and shortly after getting there Uncle Jason and Auntie Melissa joined us. We had a great afternoon and evening in camp playing with Colin, watching deer, making dinner and just spending time together. Colin even took a great afternoon nap in Grandpa's bunkbed!

We were a little concerned with how Colin would do sleeping in camp. We decided the best thing would be for him to sleep with me (mommy) instead of in the pack n' play. We warned Auntie and Uncle that it might be a sleepless night, but they were up for it. Colin did great! He went down at 8:00 and woke a few times to rollover and go back to sleep and didn't wake up until 7:30 the next morning.

Sunday morning we got up and Daddy made us a great breakfast. We took our time getting packed up to go back to Hurley. Colin got more playtime with Auntie and Uncle and Daddy and Uncle were able to get there deer stands ready for opening deer season next weekend. Colin, Auntie and I also took a walk and found Daddy and Uncle in the woods.

Both Deke and Tucker joined us for the trip and of course both of them had a great time. It's amazing how much they both love charging through the woods and just being up north.

Here are a few Tucker pictures of him enjoying exploring the woods.

Sunday night after getting in from camp we relaxed at the Hurley house with everyone and had dinner. Monday morning we got up, went out for breakfast and packed up to go home. We made a quick stop by Auntie and Uncle's house to say goodbye. Colin slept a good portion of the 4 hour drive home but when he was awake he kept asking about Hurley, camp and Uncle's house. I guess those are becoming a few of his favorite places to go.
