Wilderness boys

My Hancock boys took a camping trip with Curt's family to Shellie and Allen's property. They had some pretty cool experiences! They saw bears and deer, rode quads, stayed up late listening to Auntie Shellie's famous ghost stories and ate some interesting creatures..

This is the view of "Old Chief Mountain" that they see from their property
Lindsey got this amazing shot at night during a thunder storm..thanks Linz for all these great pics!
Carter holding one of his favorite babies, Liam.

So this is the interesting creatures part! Someone had bought flavored crickets..ofcourse the boys were dared to eat them and ofcourse there had to be a motivation to do so. They were each offered one dollar from every adult and voila, they did it! When I heard about it I could NOT believe that the boys had done this. Even their dad was too chicken. Way to go Carter and Caden. You 2 are truly wilderness boys..following in Bear Grylls footsteps I see...the guy from the show, "Man vs. Wild". Here is the play by play..their faces say it all!







You boys are amazing. I'm glad I didn't do it! It's an experience that will go down in Hancock history!

Carter and Caden you guys could be on survivor!! The play by play of pictures is great first a smile, then gets worse then the end with Carter drinking the water. Great expressions. That shot of the lighting is amazing - so cool that it is purplish. Looks like they had a great time.

I am glad your boys had so much fun with Curt's family. What wonderful memories for them! Aunt Shellie telling stories - fun, she is a fun aunt and grandma! The play by play pictures of the crickets are the best - Carter about to lose it, but he made it, way to go boys!

HIlarious!!! Only true men-in-training can eat crickets...maybe in future they'll get mission calls to someplace exotic where Crickets are a delicacy and they'll already be ahead of the game! Way to go guys! Looks like a fun trip!

That picture of Carter was worth way more than the three dollars I paid him! Haha. SO funny.
