SHOOT...what to do after you drop off your 2nd Missionary at the MTC!

Courtney gave us strict orders to go have fun and be HAPPY after we dropped her off at the MTC. We had planned on going to see a movie, but the day was so beautiful we all wanted to be outside. We thought about going up the canyon and hiking, or a Nice motorcycle ride. No, then Casey suggested going target shooting out in the desert. Sure, why not. So we all headed home, changed then picked up Casey and headed to the desert.
Here is Casey teaching us the SAFETY rules. So glad that he is trained and did a great job teaching us.
Teaching us the right way to hold it and the safety features. Kandace was the first to go. I think she has a new LOVE!
Steve went next. He got better everytime he went. It was actually kinda fun watching everyone find joy in hitting the clay disk.
My turn. Those of you that know me know that I am NOT a big fan of guns. So this was a huge leap of faith for me. I actually was catching on at the end and who knows, I may have to go again.
I love the look on Casey's face as he looks on at his mother shooting. Will wonders never cease?
Yes, Kandace is hooked. Just look at that stance, so serious!
Listening to Casey telling her "higher...lower..to the left..oh...you got it!"
Oh and in honor of Courtney, Kandace wore her shoes out to the desert. They loved getting out for a breath of fresh air.
We all took turns, then loaded up and headed out for dinner. Casey didn't tell us about the FLIES in the area, and we had left our doors and windows down, so when we got back in the truck, we had hundreds for FLIES in the truck. It took a couple of days to get rid of them, but they are gone now. Anyway, it was a fun was to relieve some saddness. I hope that Courtney and Cameron will be so proud of us getting out and doing something different!
