Joe's Day

Grammy & Lily

Joe hunting partridge (you can sort of see his blaze orange hat and coat)

Since my parents were only here for 5 days this time my mom decided that each person would get one day to make their day and choose the activities for the family. It actually turned out to be pretty fun! So, our first full day was Joe's day. And as a result the 5 of us went partridge hunting! We drove around some back roads in Clifton "hunting" partridge. Unfortunately, this was Columbus Day (a holiday) and apparently many other people had the same idea- thus we saw many more people than birds. We did see two on the road and Joe jumped out of the car with his gun- but no luck this time. So, we didn't get any dinner- but we did have quite the little adventure driving through some pretty sketchy dirt "roads" in my parents rental car. We saw some beautiful trees with amazing colors and we finally (after being quite lost) found a bluff that Joe was trying to scout out for rock climbing. The day also included a tasty lunch at Gov's (one of our favorite local resteraunts), indoor rock climbing at the YMCA (which my parents just watched), and pizza and football for dinner. Not a bad day!
