Phillip set out a few weeks back for the Annual Wheeler Hunting Trip with my dad. This year, Tony (Phillip's dad), was also able to join in on the fun. I made a big deal to Phillip about taking pictures because every other year he has gone, he comes back with nothing. If you know me at all, you know that pictures are VERY important to me. (I have 15,005 on my computer right now...just to be exact!!) He came back with wonderful pictures that captured the whole week! Thanks Phillip...you are so good to me. :)
Dinner the first night with some of Dad's side of the family. They ate at the exact restaurant where Dad proposed to Mom 30 years ago! :)
(L to R: Uncle Roger, Tony, Phillip, Aunt Jeannette, Grandad, Cousin Taylor, Dad!)
The set-up...

What's a hunting trip without some proof...
Phillip and his dad drove "to town" one afternoon and stopped by the Wheeler County Courthouse. At the courthouse, they have bricks laid with all the soldiers who fought in World War I or II. Obviously all the "Pendleton's" are family. My grandfather's is in the upper left corner....CD Pendleton!
The hunters!
My grandfather in the middle, has turned into an honorary hunter these days...the limited eyesight prevents him from actually doing the hunting. He still enjoys going every year to help out when needed! He also provides the trailer! :)

Glad I have this picture...Dad, Grandad, and Phillip!
The Big Texan is a restaurant in Amarillo. They are famous for their 72oz. steak. Supposedly, if you can sit and eat the steak, baked potato, salad, roll, and appetizer, you get the meal free. See picture below.... :) This has become a tradition for Phillip to eat when going to or coming from the trip.
