We have a new obsession with weapons in our house, guns in particular. Maybe it's the fact that the government would like to take this right from us that makes it more appealing than before. Weston got a new gun for his birthday and hadn't been out to shoot it yet. Cole is and always has been fascinated with guns and such, all the boys in the neighborhood are proud owners of BB guns except Cole. He has decided to save his money for a BB gun. I was hoping it would take him a couple years, but that kid has been earning his dollars at an alarming rate lately.
Anyway we took the kids out behind some fields to do a little target practice. The wind was blowing and it was freezing but that ten minutes was blissful to them. Hagen was content to sit in the pickup with me to do his shooting, he is pretty proud of the fact that he can now cock his gun all himself.
Cole won the footrace back from the taget, he was impressed with Weston's skills in hitting every can!
Kallie always begs me to see every picture I take as soon as it is taken. I love to withhold from her, it's fun to see her suffer! (Remember when we had to wait three days for Wal Mart to process our photos to even see them?) Spoiled kids!
Even though it was short lived fun, it was still some family fun!
I loved this; I looked outside to see Cole seriously trying to teach Hagen how to shoot his bow. Hagen could've cared less, but nodded politely anyway and then went to retreive all the arrows Cole shot. That won't last much longer, that's for sure!

Dude, you guys are lucky. That's all I can say. You have a place to shoot guns and bow and arrows! Jete begged for a slingshot for Christmas, got it, and now can't ever use it.... except in our house with foam balls. It's not quite as exciting to him anymore.
