July 4th

What better way to celebrate our nation's birthday than with exercising our right to bear arms?  Actually, our wedding gift from my family was a new gun, so we had to try it out.  A group of us took lots of targets (water jugs, cans, pop bottles, but not the tux box from the back of my car, Dad!) out to some friend's ranch property on the edge of town.  My brother brought several of his guns, and we had a good time trying them all out.

 

And the grand finale was the cow pie shooter!  (Thanks for being the launcher, Dad.)  We finished the night with blankets and warm drinks out on the back deck while watching fireworks.  Well, most of us that is.  Some of us were still busy with last minute wedding details :)
