Ice Skating

January 8, 2015 - After such cold temperatures last week, Noah had the brilliant idea of checking the depth of the ice on a creek nearby...the result was some fantastic ice skating!

Noah drove us down to the creek on the four wheeler

So wonderfully rustic…we sat on the rocks to get our skates laced up

We had an enormous "rink" all to ourselves!

We could skate on almost all of the ice you see in this picture

Shootin’

March 30, 2014 – This evening we enjoyed spending some time with friends and practicing our shooting skills.

We hiked down to the creek…

…and crawled into the cave.

Looks like somebody found a blowgun.

There’s nothing like hanging out with a few good friends….in a cave…

Trying out the blowgun

Alright, time to do some shooting…

…no, I meant some REAL shooting.

Reloading the magazines…

…or are they called clips? 

This guy keeps moving while he’s shooting…standing…

…prone…

…moving.

Why spend money on targets?

When a ball of mud will work.

Looks like he’s posing for a duel.

Matthew was firing so fast that I was able to get two shells in the same frame.

Benjamin is probably critiquing Melanie as she’s shooting

Time for some torture testing.

The tests ended with mixed results.

Alright, time to go primitive and try out the blowgun:

Here’s a closer look at the muzzle!

Nice shot!

When shooting a blog gun it can either be…

…EPIC…

…or whatever this is.

The sun was setting and it was time to walk back home.

I love the “gradient” of the sky during a sunset.
