Theme Thursday: Barns (trapping edition)

I know this is my second post on Theme Thursday, but I had to separate this post from the last one...  This one may stir up some negative comments (with the furs of animals hanging from the barn and the proud trappers standing near), so I had to separate it from the "cutsie" one.  This barn is marked in all of our memories and has served so many purposes throughout the years.  My father over the last couple years completely re-roofed the barn with some buddies.  It was a HUGE undertaking, but he did it.  (he has a little stubborness in him, and obviously didn't learn from the first fall out of the barn - silly guy!)  Anyways, not only do we have farming roots, but trapping genes as well. My dad trapped as a young boy and is proudly passing on this art to his sons-in-law and grandsons. One of my brothers-in-law (the one in the picture below) has really latched on to this art and is doing quite well - he recently opened up his own business, in which he makes and sells trapping baits (Camp Creek Trapping).  These pictures were taken up against *the barn* with all their treasures from trapping season a few years ago...

  2. Dad spent all day lining up the tacks/nails to hold their catch, and then had to take them all out afterwards. Was worth it for this wonderful picture. The memories these men are making will last a lifetime, and i'm sure will be handed down to generations to come. - Carie

    1. Thanks, sis! Will never forget this shot! It was actually the first that came to mind when I saw Annie's post on "Theme Thursday: Barns". How blessed we are with their talent and the talent that will be kept alive through them!
