Bicknell Bottoms!

The BICKNELL BOTTOMS is a family tradition to the DAINS, My grandpa was an avid duck hunter he would go hunting here, took my Dad hunting here, my Dad took us..... and so the tradition continues. Now my girls are going it reminds me of when I went with my Daddy, now I love to watch my girls with there Dad. So really this is just a great place to HUNT DUCKS, (4 hours away!). It was well worth the drive to see the thrill on Saige and Addie's face when Calvin finally came back to take them into the BOTTOMS, they couldn't get dressed fast enough, and not to mention it was pouring rain but they could care less. So the next few pics are of the girls first duck hunting trip. Cali and I waited & watched from the truck.

It is so swampy that Calvin took them out one at a time to stay dry.

What a GUY!

Giving them a little instructions, Don't you love the CAMO, bright purple and pink are not the best but OH well.

Well after about 2 min Calvin scared up a duck and yes he got it, Saige and Addison thought he was the greatest hunter EVER!!

Saige holding the DUCK!! So much for my girly girl.

Look how proud she is.

This is when they got back to the truck, Addison was too cold so she got in the truck.

Day 2.

It was much warmer so we (Me, Calvin and Girls) went for a hike.

We just walked from our camp and this is what we saw it was just beautiful and as Saige would say "much more adventurous" than our other hikes.

This pic was taken with the self timer, pretty good HUH!

Just enjoying the awesome hike.

Cali spent her time in the backpack so we have very few of her on the hike.

Grandma and Grandpa are always out to do something fun so they took the kids down to race boats. They always think of something FUN!!

Cali, Avarie, Hesston, Saige & Addison.


I had to include this two little guys, I don't get pictures of them very often.
