Happy 4th of July!  We started the day off right by going shooting.  We had a shoot off with my child size .22 riffle.  We all got really close to the target.

Mallory McClellan, it was her first time shooting.  She did awesome!

We broke out the shot guns after.  I hit my first clay pigeon ever.  Everyone did awesome. 

For the rest of the day we went to the west side and ate at The Place.  It was so yummy.  That afternoon Ryan's dad and Martin came over for dinner.  Todd and Mallory meet up with us and we drove to east Mesa to try to view all the different firework shows.  That didn't last long b/c the cops came and said we all had to leave.  We resorted to watching the fireworks on TV that night.  It was still an awesome night. 

4 Peaks & Shooting

12.31.10
 We went up to 4 peaks on New Years Eve to go shooting and to see if we could make it to the top with all the snow.  It was a chilly day.  Of course we had to take Molly it wouldn't be a road trip without her. 

 Clearly, I don't see the cliff up ahead like Ryan does.  I'm glad we didn't fall off.  ha!

 Shooting my pink .22 Ryan got me for Christmas.  It's a blast.  I never thought I would like shooting this much. It was so cold, I tried to shoot it with my gloves on but that didn't work out.  Molly doesn't like the sound of gun shots, she would try crawling up my leg as I was shooting. 

 Look Out Clint Eastwood, someone has a killer shot with his new gun.

 Yes you are seeing that correctly, Molly does have a little coat on.  We wouldn't want her to get chilly out there.

 We didn't make it all the way to the top but pretty close.  The road got way too icy and we started to spin out.  We were able to turn around after getting stuck for a few minutes. 

 It was beautiful up there.  I loved seeing the snow and the cold weather.  I got my snow fix for the year. I'll settle with the cold weather minus the snow.
