Holy moly this week has been crazy. As of right now, we are westward bound to visit dear friends in California {insert excited dance here}, so the start of this week meant playing catch up & get ahead before our vacation started. {PS – it’s 12* in Chicago right now.} Hence, the delayed post about the weekend! If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed a few posts of a few different activities, one of which I was verryyyy excited about. Remember all of my shed hunting talk? Well, it’s safe to say that my miles of walking finally paid off. I found my best shed yet, and what’s even more exciting, I found the pair. The miles and miles of walking sure were fun, even when we weren’t finding sheds.

And then…. There they were! Now these might not look like a trophy buck in some places, but around here, he’s a man. There aren’t too many really big white tailed deer where we hunt, particularly in the Lowcountry. That’s not to say I haven’t seen some monsters that look like they were transplanted from inside a fence in Iowa, if you smell what I’m steppin in. But I am really glad this guy made it through the season…

Another shed we found in the middle of the woods.

And thennn we did some crappie fishin on the pond. We might not have caught a lot on our little ultralight rods, but we sure did have a good time.I will admit, it was a bit scary. With this warmer weather, we were surrounded by these guys. Who wants to go for a swim? Hah.
