Backyard fun.

We have been playing in the backyard with water all week.  

I think the pictures show how much fun we have had*

*I shot into the sun on purpose trying to get some interesting light and water pictures.  New experience for me - it was kind of hard because what your light meter in your camera tells you is not truly what you want to shoot.

 Truman discovered a new place to tee off at.

Dirt.

 Tonight we helped some friends move a big load of dirt that was delivered to their driveway to their new back yard gardens.  Bodie was being a pill so we strapped him into the stroller and walked him around the block a few times.

Raspberries.

This is how we eat raspberries around our house...

...it makes sense, right? That is how you would eat olives - why not raspberries they have holes in them too!

Right?!

Bodie does it too.

Shooting.

For Father's Day these dads got an afternoon at the shooting range with a tactical defense trainer.  Tonight was the night of their training and it was a blast {yes, I got to tag along and learn all about guns too!}

When we learned how to aim at the head for the kill our "targets" heads blew up with red spray paint - it was a nice affect and shocked us all.

We learned all sorts of drills - this one was taking our first shot behind us before turning around to shooting at our suspect.

Brad and I won prices for the best shot {he did work for the FBI...}

The white part of the target was the 'good guy' and the green was the suspect that we were trying to shoot at - the green 'suspect' would move.

In this drill we were all lined up with our own targets and then our trainer {Don} would yell out a shape and color we had to shoot at.

Men's shoot out.

At the end we all got to shoot Don's Robinson Arms AK 47 pistol {that he carries at all times!)

And of course the guys wanted a video of me shooting it for the first time - I have good aim!

I don't know what it is called.

...as it leaves.

Here are all the shells we picked up after.

It was a great training and I highly, highly recommend it - especially as a gift for the guy you don't know what to get.  It was fun for Gregg to be out on the range with his brother and dad.
