Okay...I fell behnd on the ol blog. Back on board.
November brought deer hunting at Lupich's Big Buck Lodge with Grandpa Joe, Uncle Seth--or Uncle Fuffy as Griffin calls him, Cousin Austin and the Johnson Boys; Gregg, Keegan and Griffin. This was Griffin's first year staying at The Shack, so Gregg and the boys built a new taj mahal deer stand to accomodate the three of them. I must say it out does Grandpa Joe's stand which has been coined, The Joe Dome. They had a ton of fun hanging in the stand and staying out at The Shack. Keegan and Griffin learned all of Grandpa Joe's highly coveted hunting secrets and are quite proud that they know these secrets and no one else does. Which....wont be for long. Griffin can not keep secret or remain quiet, for that matter. However, if it is for competitive sport, perhaps he will be able to bite his tongue--we'll see. I bet the entire deer camp learns of Grandpa's secrets next year. Gregg loves to go out to The Shack for the peaceful serenity of the gas lights, the crackle of the woodstove, cool, crisp, quiet air, birds chirping, the occasional howl of wolves....ahhhh...perhaps that scene will surface once again...in about 12 years or so. For now, the gas lights and the crackle of the woodstove remain, but the peaceful serenity is limited to 5 am to 9 am. Once Griffin wakes up, prepare for constant chatter until he crawls into his bunk to go to sleep.

They also went to The Shack during grouse hunting season this Fall. Keegan and Griffin seem to be following in their Dad's footsteps--they are both amazing target shooters. Keegan got a new pellet gun for his birthday this year so this was Griffin's first year with the Daisy Red Rider--and he didnt even shoot his eye out! ;)
November also brought Griffin's 4th birthday on November 30th--4 already--hard to believe. He wanted a 'big kid' Chuck E Cheese birthday party this year, so Chuck E Cheese it was. He has grown up so much over the past year--it's a bit scary--but fun. Griffin also has a 'friend' named, Marley. If Griffin gets in trouble...Marley did it. If Griffin loses something...its at Marley's. If he sees something cool that he wants--and doesnt get....Marley has it has house. If you should ask Griffin, 'who is Marley?' he will tell you just who he is, 'Marley is my imaginary friend'. Yep, good ol Marley. Griffin and I were Christmas shopping and he throws his hands up in the air and lets out a huge sigh and says, 'Mom, I have NO idea what to get Marley'. So he picked out a garden hose adjustable nozzle sprayer, because ironically Marley is obsessed with spraying garden hoses just like Griffin--what a coincidence! That's about it for November.
