a day for sunshine

Last Saturday Jari and I joined Frans, Jenny and some girls out in the desert to do some "plinking".

I've kind of decided that I need to learn how to shoot.

I really couldn't load a gun, didn't know what a "safety" was .... pretty much didn't know nuthin'.

So we spent 3 hours out in the desert hitting targets.

This is Helmiina ... visiting from Finland for 3 months.

She has in her hands a little thing that was actually my grandfather's pistol.

The thing spits like crazy but she has pretty good!

A few pieces of metal that were just a little bit bigger ...

Jenny was in the same boat as I.

We both wanted and needed some basic instruction.

Kierstyn was giving intructions that went like this: "are you even aiming mom?!"

My girls would have been saying the same thing to me had they been there.

Yup.

One shot at a time.

Seems I sort of like 'em that way.

I'm ready to go again!

Home to do some laundry and then the hubby had an idea .....
