Mike and Matt are leaving in the morning for an elk hunt in the mountains of New Mexico. I gave Mike a book a few years back which I have read several times (who knows whether he has or not) entitled "A Look At Life From a Deer Stand!" The author says " Planning for a multi-day hunt is a process that can occupy the thoughts, conversations, and even the daydreams of anyone who enjoys big game hunting!" As you can see Mike has been planning and packing. I am happy for them to have the opportunity to spend time together and I love seeing Mike actually getting excited about something! Ha! He always packs his Bible which shows the kind of man he is and for which I am thankful! I just had to make some "Two-Handed Cookies" for the trip. When the kids were little and we would go on vacations, ski trips, etc. I always made these cookies for the trip. They have 9 cups of oatmeal and 2 1/2 cups of peanut butter so I always felt like at least we were getting something good for us when I knew our eating habits were going to less than desirable. They make a pretty good breakfast and probably as good for you as some granola bars! I'll post the recipe if anyone wants it. I guess this whole blogging thing has made me rather nostalgic!
Maybe we can post the big elk when they get home! Have fun guys!

Matt is going to be so pumped when he sees those cookies! That makes it a real vacation! I'm excited for them too and I'm planing our Chicago trip as we speak :)
Looks like they are "ready to roll"! Hope they have a fun and safe trip.
Good job on your blog.

Sounds like they had a great time! I was hoping Matt would come home with some of those cookies we all love so much, but no such luck!
