My Mountain Man...

The before pictures of Chris' trip...

Look at that scruff...

So these are the three "before" pictures I got of Chris before his trip. He is home now and is a little hurt. Within the first hour of the trip he got bucked off of his horse and we think he broke his wrist. He was bucked off into a pile of rocks and hurt his hip, back, knee and the worst was his wrist. For the first three days of the trip he couldn't even move his fingers because he was so swollen. When the swelling went down the pain didn't subside and he just nursed it the best he could. Luckily his dad had a carpel tunnel brace that he used to entire trip to immobilize his wrist. Last night when he got home we washed the brace and he didn't have it for 2 hours and couldn't stand the pain. I think it's broke, but we'll see. We are biting the bullet and taking him in tomorrow even though we don't have insurance. Wish us luck!
Back to the trip...They had a good time and got some awesome pictures...I already posted the pictures and some info about each one. The mosquitoes were so bad that they had to walk around while they ate...and they weren't able to brush their teeth, wash their faces or anything because the mosquitoes were everywhere. They mostly ate fish which was bad for Tyler and Chris because they don't like fish. The nights were okay they said, Chris slept great thanks to a little tylenol pm and his dad and Tyler slept great after they got to Chris' stash. Every day they would wake up, have breakfast and head off to a different lake to fish for the entire day. They would get back to camp, cook fish, have a little "visit" and hit the hay. I guess there was some male bonding there but what do I know about that. I would prefer to "bond" at the spa!
