June Weekend at the Cabin

So I was looking at some old pictures from earlier in the summer, and I realized after looking at David's pictures that I am the only one that has any pictures of the boys with guns at the cabin. So I figured that I would add some - because you know what goes well with a group of guys in the great out doors right? Guns! - there were some other things going on too, including 4-wheelers, but I wasn't there long enough to do much else.





How does one tend a whole herd of kids? (Sorry for calling your kids a herd - but what word would you use, a flock, a drove, a crowd, a pack....?) Anyway - I found a way to spend an hour of the kids' afternoon.
And - notice the orange blur in front of Jeremy? That is in fact the clay pigeon that he is throwing and ironically the same thing that David is shooting at. He wasn't aiming for it just yet as you can see. Don't forget - safety first! I think that is an awesome picture if I do say so myself (there is more self praise forthcoming...).



Remember that self praise that I mentioned - well in Jeremy's picture here - that is in fact the 9mm shell ejecting out of my Ruger P89 9mm w/Custom Grip! I think that ejecting shell pictures are cool. James would definately agree with me.



I only have one thing to say about my picture - "You're empty mister!" (name that movie, here's another clue...)

I gave Z the chance to smile - "but he wasn't having any" (another quote from the same movie). He did manage to throw up the peace sign though - which is sort of ironic since we were blowing s--- stuff up at the moment! Don't think that he just sat there the whole time either, he was only sitting down because he was wore out from shooting.



Part of my initial gun enthusiasm came from an English Professor that I had up at Weber State University. So this picture is for all of those individuals (from...OK State, or otherwise) that don't think that your professor would ever be out shooting guns. You can't always judge a gun carrier by their profession. Never judge too quickly. I know of former Bank (sorry Credit Union) employees that own more guns that I do.

Anyway this was basically an impromptu trip up to the cabin and some people stayed several nights and apparently they had a raging bon fire that was catching the wet green grass near on fire because of it's sheer ferocity. Mom also fell out of her chair and there were screaming cameras before there was ever a helping hand. I think there might have even been a picture of the kids - other than the time that they were corralled in a moving trailer.

As always - if you would like an original photo - just ask - and it's yours.
