Sled riding fun at Timberwind!!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!! Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!! Well my most favorite time of the year has arrived late fall into early winter weather. The more snow the better is what I think. I'm done trapping for the year, too cold for Will to be riding the 4 wheeler around checking traps at 8 in the morning, so done again for another year. Next year will be better I hope, I'll be able to trap longer because Will will be going to Kindergarden.

Well this year I haven't done real well, but the season isn't over yet. Total I have caught 2 raccoons, 2 skunks, 2 opossums, and 2 cats (didn't take pictures of the cats). I have caught the raccoons over at Dan's corn along with 1 opossum. The skunks: 1 over behind Jack Millers property and the other one between Lynnwoods and Kenny Felgers place also 1 opossum there as well. The cats were where the skunks were 1 in each place. For those of you wondering if I shot the cats or let them go I let them go and let me tell you it wasn't easy either.

Well it is that time of the year againg TRAPPING SEASON!!!!! And so far I have only caught one raccoon over in Dan's corn. I have tree traps there and haven't caught anything in the last two days, although I have had my traps robbed and one is getting stepped on by deer. I would have never known had it not snowed the last two days, so now I will move it down away from where they are walking. Well off to reset and move the traps, had to wait for it to warm up Will gets too cold and Olivia stayed home from school today, she wasn't feeling well, but now she is felling better. I hope so because she is worried about missing the Fall fun Fest and parade at school tomorrow. I will post pictures of her and Will dressed up later and maybe something that I caught if I get lucky (nothing to gross that just isn't right).

Well this week Denny started working for Lynnwood driving water truck. This is the truck he gets to drive they just got finished putting on the finishing touches so it could go out today. Denny couldn't wait for the truck to get done. They have been working on it all week and longer than that. Yesterday they got to try it out, there was a fire up by Randy Smith's house (not his house). All three trucks loaded up with water and hauled it up to the fire men trying to help. They get up there and they didn't need them but the fire men came to Jack's pond to get water and they hauled it up. Nobody can say that Kiester Trucking isn't there to help out when they can what a good bunch of guys they are!!!!!!!!!

On Saturday we went to Bennezette to see the elk. This is not the biggest one we saw but is the best picture I took of one looking straight on. We saw about 100 elk, about 6 or 7 of them were bulls. The kids like to go they named this one Elliot from the movie "Open Season". It was a great day to go the weather was perfect, wasn't too cold, although it was pretty windy at times up there on the hill side at the one viewing area we stopped at.
