Saturday's Adventures

Aaron and I decided to take advantage of the break in negative temperatures around here and head outside on Saturday. First up, the shooting range. Well, it wasn't really a shooting range as much as a large field with old targets set up. Aaron had stopped and asked the owner a few weeks ago if he minded us shooting there and he was gracious enough to let us. I told you about going with Aaron to sight in his gun and me shooting a few shots, remember? This day I went out trying to hit apples. I actually had a lot of fun!

Me getting ready to shoot! Aaron was great about teaching me how to load the gun, how to hold it and other safety things.

The poor apple I destroyed. Aaron estimated we shot around 75 times. The best part about that is that I only missed the target 5 times!

I tried shooting this old shell off a metal stand. I couldn't believe I hit it!

My babe getting ready for his turn.

After shooting we decided to take advantage of the Navy's hobby shop and rent ice skates. They are building an ice rink on base over a softball field. Apparently, there was a leak so we headed to the rink in town.

They flooded a park right downtown for people to enjoy.

We went with Catherine, Garrett and Jase. It was Jase's first time ice skating. He sort of got the hang of it but he had a blast none the less. We brought him that plastic white chair to hold onto but his feet were going too fast to hang on!

Us! You can see that the ice wasn't in great shape but we had a blast. It is a cool thing for the town to do for the residents free of charge.

I was so tired by the end of the day. I guess being outside really does tire me out. It was a really fun day outside. We both really needed the fresh air!
