Melius Opening Pheasant Hunting Weekend

Last weekend was the opening weekend for pheasant hunting in South Dakota.  I have come to appreciate the annual event.  It means a relaxing weekend complete with talking, laughing, shopping at our local craft fair and . . . of course . . . plenty of eating!  While we women are enjoying ourselves, the men celebrate the weekend by trudging through fields, weeds, and trees as they shoot South Dakota's state bird.  I think we have the better end of the deal. 

David's cousin Lisa and I took a mommy photo.  She is due in about 3 weeks with baby #3.  I have about 9 weeks left.
 Here is the next generation of Melius family hunters!
 And . . . the whole crew.  My boys and cousin Carter were big enough to go along this year.  They walked with the big guys on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. 
 Teresa and her cousin Lily are BEST FRIENDS.
 Teresa wanted to celebrate her birthday with her cousins, so we had a little party on Sunday afternoon.  We sang, we blew out candles, we opened presents, we ate cupcakes, and the kids were back to playing in about 15 minutes.  It was the perfect little 4 year old party!

Soon after, the adults showed up and . . . we ate some more!
