Valentine Mountain Weekend

This weekend we were able to head to Potter County with friends for a fun weekend. We left on Friday around dinner and stayed until Monday. Pretty uneventful trip up except for Matt breaking the back window in his truck. He hit a bump and his 4-wheeler hit the window and shattered the whole thing. Needless to say it was Friday the 13th so something was bound to go wrong. Once we arrived we settled in and hit the sack, at least the ladies did. The men on the other hand stayed up until all hours.
Matt and Brandon on Sat am collecting fire wood for the fireplace. The guys (Brandon, Matt B, and Matt) heading out to work on hanging Matt's new homemade tree stand. Us ladies, we enjoyed the warm indoors watching movies till they returned.
It was starting to snow and the guys wanted to get us out of the house so we went for a 4-wheeler ride. Devon and Brandon below all bundle and ready to go!

Matt and Ani

On Sunday we decided to not stay in the house for the day. Us girls went along with the guys to finalize the hanging of the tree stand. We parked the 4-wheelers and hiked into the woods where Matt will be hunting in the fall. Needless to say there was about a foot of snow in some places. Devon had some trouble walking in the woods, and couldn't figure out how to stay on her feet.

Our guys!
After finishing the tree stand hanging, we wanted to take our friends over to BigFoot's place. This was built years ago in the middle of the woods. It is a popular site in Potter County and once you arrive you have to sign the book saying you were there! Matt and I at BigFoot!
After a very long 4-wheeler ride on Sunday, we came home to relax. Ani cooked us a wonderful dinner and then we were planning on playing some games and just hanging out. Needless to say from the cold wind and weather and the long ride, none of us made it very long that night! We all crashed on the couches!
It was a great weekend and I thank our friends for a great time. I especially want to thank my mom for watching our children. We can't thank you and dad enough and we love you!!!
