Good Friends

This week our oldest has been gone on his week-long Scout Camp trip. We have really missed him and can't wait for him to get home this evening. I'm sure he'll have some tales to tell. I sent a camera with him, so hopefully I will have some pictures to share soon.


Our most notable event this week was getting to hang out with our good friends who are passing through Utah on their way to their next military assignment in Germany. We spent Family Night up the canyon "throwing lead," as my husband would say. It was a lot of fun.



Our friend got to try out her new pistol.



Then the kids had fun shooting at some cans...




with the .22's.



We startled this snake while we were setting up some targets. Luckily, he was as eager to get away from us as we were to get away from him!




The youngsters had a lot of fun!




They loved knocking down the cans!



The funnest target was a gallon container of water. Water everywhere!



Lastly, we got out the AR-15.



It was a big hit...especially with the teen-age boys...



and the big boys...




and the young ones too!



We love our friends! They have been stationed all over the United States and many years have passed since we lived close, but we love that when we get to hang out with them we can pick up right where we left off. We wish them the best on their new adventure in Germany.
