A Buffalo hunt & Weekend Visitors

On Friday, Nathan's dad and brother came to visit, along with my mom! Mom had driven to Tom's and then they drove out from Pierre! I had spent Friday cooking up a yummy supper of fried chicken, home made buns, potatoes, and apple cake with brown sugar sauce--ooh yeah! It was all a success, which says a lot, because usually with me in the kitchen, something ends up going bad! Saturday was supposed to be a day of bird hunting, but with Painters buffalo herd breaking out for the last 2 1/2 weeks, the head of the buffalo break out gang had to be shot. SO, off went the boys, except for Gunnar, he stayed back with mom and I! After a pretty interesting morning of finding the right bull, and the experience getting "a little western" as the boys claimed, the buffalo was down and ready to be gutted, skinned, and processed. Mom, Gunnar, and I drove out to see the big dead bull buffalo, which is pretty amazing! We all had a fun weekend, and I was sad to see them go on Sunday. Before the weekend could end, I was hosting Dresser Club, which is girls night! With Mom and Tom's help earlier, and Nathan's help later in the day, the house was spic and span, along with a baked potato bar and dessert all ready to go! It was a fun time, but with all the sickness going around, only half were able to make it. We still had a fun time, ate goodies, and painted on pumpkins! After everyone left, the house was quiet again.
As you can see, this weekend was full of fun and family visiting, which caused Gunnar to crash! He was tuckered out on Monday and Tuesday still!

Here's the whole gang..Vessel from South Africa, Max from Germany, which are Painters two hired men, along with Cullen, Tom, & Nathan!

This weekend is up in the air still..with Halloween I would like to get Gunnar dressed in his Monkey or Puppy costume and take him around, but with Nathan and I being paranoid germaphobes, it wouldn't kill me to keep him home with us too! With the weather being unpredictable with snow, we are still hoping to get to Rapid City for some shopping and a day with all 3 of us together!
