Thanksgiving Weekend

On Friday morning, the day after Thanksgiving, Will and I headed to Rock Springs to spend the weekend with his Dad and Stepmom. His brother David and wife, Autumn and their two kids, Christian and Sophie were already there. Friday right after we got there the guys decided that they wanted to take off and go shooting. I somehow got tricked into going and was told if I wanted to be part of the "man club" I had to shoot a gun. I've never shot a gun in my life. The first gun they had me shoot was a shotgun, and they made me shoot it 3 times to be part of the club. Because I must really need that validation I obliged and did pretty good. I shot 2 of the 3 targets in the air. But the gun did hit my shoulder and hurt a little.

Here I am nailing the clay pigeon!

Here's Will's dad with the gun, his brother pulling the target thrower thing (clearly I still don't know much about this stuff) and Will watching.

After we were done with that gun, they got the .22 out. Now that is a fun gun to shoot! Again they told me I had to shoot this gun to be in the "man club" so I went ahead and did it. But I really enjoyed it and once I got the hang of it I was pretty good at hitting the targets! Because I had so much fun on Friday, I went out again with the guys again on Saturday. This time we go Dave's wife Autumn to come, she also hadn't ever shot a gun in her life. It was pretty fun and now Will says he's going to buy me a .22 for Christmas...I'll take something else, please!

I am a pro with this thing! :)

Here's Autumn, she did well too!

That afternoon David and Autumn left to go back home and Will and I stayed one more night. We had so much fun, just hanging out and playing Mexican Dominoes. If you've never played that game, I recommend it! It's totally a game of luck, ok and some skill, but really more luck! I ended up winning overall and it felt good!


This is one of Kathy's (Will's stepmom) mini schnauzers...Rosie reminds me a lot of Mia. She constantly wants attention and wants to lick you all the time.
