The kids have been into attacking Ken lately. They think it is hilarious to ambush him. Today after church, Ken and I both went into the bedroom. I climbed into bed for a nap and ken went into the bathroom. A couple of minutes passed and the door burst open with all four kids running and ready to pounce on the bed where Ken was supposed to be laying. They all came to a screeching halt when they saw that it was only me. They quickly and quietly retreated, hoping that Ken hadn't heard them. They, of course, completed the mission a few minutes later when he was snuggled in beside me.

A day of shooting

We decided on a new adventure today....shooting. It was pretty fun. Loud. I think most of enjoyed shooting the 22 the best. The boys are all really good shots! Toward the end of our outing, Mason decided that he wanted to shoot a clay pigeon like the rest of us had. He was only allowed to use the BB gun so I threw the little bugger up and right when Mason shot, Colin Bleak who was there with us(and knowing that the BB gun wasn't going to break it) , shot at it with his shotgun. Mason was so proud of himself (and shocked!) that he was successful. It was so funny. So go with us on this! I wish I would have video recorded it. Mason's face was so hilarious! Overall....it was a nice adventure but won't mind hanging up that hat for another 20 years.

Geo Cashing

Today we went on our first geo cashing adventure. We started out by the Spring and ended up by the Sand dunes. I think we went to four sites. It was a lot of fun to search for the "treasure". The kids liked using the GPS, searching for the box and seeing what was inside. It was also fun to see new areas. And the snow added an extra element to the challenge! I think we are going again tomorrow.
