Turkey Shoot


This last weekend we had our annual Turkey Shoot at my Grandma's house. It is always so much fun! All of the family on my moms side gets together and competes for a turkey and a ham. We have a shoot out to see who can shoot the most clay pigeons. We start off with everyone, and narrow it down to one final winner who gets to take home the turkey. Next we have the Annie Oakley to find the last man standing and they get a ham. It gets very competitive! I'm proud to say that I shot three and Ben shot two. Okay, so we are not the best shots, and never really had a chance at the turkey or the ham, but it's still lots of fun.

Don't we look like naturals? Don't mess!




It's an all day event, filled with family, food, competitions, lots of shooting and lots of fun!

Teea,
I'm so glad you found my blog too! I think I saw a link to yours on Felisha's blog, and read a post about your baby girl one night. I cried and cried and cried for you! Life is so hard sometimes, and you don't even realize the hardships that everyone else is going through in their private lives. I couldn't even think of anything remotely comforting to say! But I'm deeply sorry and humbled by all you've gone through. Thank the stars that there are fun things in life like Turkey shoots, or I don't know how we'd make it through this life! :) I'm glad we're blog friends.

What a fun tradition. 3 clay pigeons is awesome! Plus, it's all you needed to be the reigning champ (out of you & Ben). Sometimes, that's all you need!

Teea! I just found your blog! Maybe you told me about it a while ago and I misplaced it in my brain, but I'm glad I found you today. It's been a while! It was great to see your smiley face, and see Kynslee's pictures--she is just as beautiful as I remembered. I miss her too.
