he got a very special present from Santa,
a .22 rifle.
Fast forward 23 years...
Heath is now taking our boys shooting for the first time with his .22.
My boys, like most boys love guns
they always have and probably always will.
It's something that I don't know a lot about but
want to learn since they will be a part of our lives for a very long time.
We couldn't get out to the dessert fast enough
the boys were so ready to start shooting.
But not before Heath talked to them about the gun and gun safety.
Our future hunters
Loading the gun
Maybe all those war video games are paying off because the boys did so good.
Cody's milk jug shot
Luke concentrated so hard to get the perfect shot
Ryan shot through his bullets in a hurry
you just heard, pow pow pow pow pow and he was done.
Cody's stats 4 out of 5 at 48 feet
Luke's stats 4 out of 5 at 48 feet
Ryan's stats 5 out of 5 at 21 feet with some help from Heath
My stats 7 out of maybe 10 at 40 feet
I thought that was pretty good seeing that this was only the
third time that I have ever shot a gun.
No need in recording Heath's stats since he hit his mark every time.
The boys favorite was when he shot two grasshoppers at close range,
they thought that was pretty awesome!
The boys loved every minute of this and can't wait to go back.
They already have big plans for our pumpkins once Halloween is over.
The boys got to shoot bb guns at camp this summer and loved it of course! I think they may be getting one for Christmas this year. Don't you love having all boys?!? :)
