Labor Day

Labor Day was a much needed day.... we got to sleep in, go on a run, and make a delicious breakfast. I got a lot of stuff around the house done which is always a good feeling. Later in the afternoon, we went and shot trap with Fred, Jodi, & Letty. I was sort of planning on just watching.... but that's not what ended up happening. :)

I've never shot a gun before in my life... I was a little nervous. I was scared of the gun kicking back at my shoulder. I know, I'm kind of wimpy... But, I shot a semi-automatic, 20 gauge shotgun, and those don't kick as much. (See how much I learned?! :)

Me with a gun, a scary thought, I know...

Daniel was so patient as he taught me!

 The most exciting thing was I actually shot a clay! So next time I try, I should do better since I know how to load and aim. Oh, and by the way, the kick doesn't hurt bad at all.... my other arm was sore the next day from holding the heavy gun up for so long. :)

Jodi did awesome!

It was such a beautiful and relaxing evening outside. Miss Letty just sat on her chair the whole time and didn't mind the noise at all! We went back to Fred & Jodi's later in the evening and grilled hamburgers and played games. It was a fun evening.... Daniel might make me into a hunter yet! :) So excited I know how to shoot and load a gun now. :)
