Family Time

A sad thing happened Friday before Easter. Brett's last surviving grandparent- Grandpa Milo passed away. It was the same day the kids and I got back from out trip cross-island and Brett's Christmas and Birthday gifts showed up, one of which was a new gun (Kimber). The positive things helped Brett keep from losing himself in the sadness, and he wanted to spend time with us. So we all loaded up and headed to the firing range with Dad!
Shane was suddenly on a hunting rabbits kick. I'm not sure where it came from, but Shane was convinced he needed to shoot rabbits. We knew that wasn't going to happen, so we stopped at the Orions (the outdoor store) and got a target for him to practice on instead. Too bad there were none rabbit-shaped.

Dad only had to arm the gun for Shane, who did pretty good aiming down-range.
Austin needed a little more help, but managed to get the trigger pulled on his own.

And to top off the fun, after Dad and Mom had thier turns shooting the .45s, we all got to hunt around finding all the .45 caliber brass that was lying around. The boys got pretty good at recognizing the .45s among all the rest, even the .40s.
