Well it will be short and sweet and likely won't get added to unless some miracle happens and we get back down again. The story actually starts the Wednesday before Easter weekend. We had been planning for weeks to head down for the weekend and our plan was to make it a long weekend. Well Wednesday at work I started bleeding pretty badly down below which turned into a panic as I went from my doctor to a specialist to eventually the emergency room at the hospital. I was admitted, had an upper and lower GI done and eventually 2 pints of blood before I was finally released in the afternoon on Easter Sunday. No real clear sign of the cause but they did find a couple ulcers and diverticulitis which they felt was the cause. Felt like shit on Monday but I managed to go to work for a while and slowly as the week progressed I started feeling a lot better.
Thursday my wife got tired of hearing me whine about not going and suggested we make a quick trip down to spend some time with my dad and his wife and take a few walks in hopes of finding a couple sheds. I had to work some Friday morning and I happened to get a text from Diablo asking if we were going to come down. Well it worked out that he was able to come over for a few hours and do some searching with us. Was great to finally meet you Taylor and Gunner too! LOL think our German Shepard didn't care for him (Gunner) much but that's ok she's a pain in my ass too for the most part. Anyways the kids had a great day walking, playing in the creek and riding around all day. Both my son Allen and daughter Jenna were able to come, along with Jenna's new boyfriend Robert (no wonder they found ulcers LOL)!! Taylor found one nice 4 pt shed and we ended up with 4, two from last year that were chewed pretty bad and two from this year a spike and a fork horn. My wife actually found the fork horn, her first ever shed antler. Sure wish I had a few more days for us to cover more ground but it's back to the grind. Still feeling pretty good after a lot of walking so hopefully it was all just an eye opener for me.
