fathers day

 We celebrated my Dad on Saturday this year and started the day shooting targets in the morning.  The kids had so much fun
FIRST they got to see and touch and even shoot all of Papa's guns something we try to avoid most other visits.
SECOND we spent the day with cousins that make us smile. 
We put up shade umbrellas and had a great time, blowing bubbles, playing cars, horseshoes and some even got some coloring in.  Some didn't care for the noise some of the big guns made.
Thanks Paige for the picture... see Hayli was there and she did have fun!
After awhile we headed back to our house for a BBQ and some slip-n-side action, a little tramp jumping, a lot of political talk, presents for the "fathers" and one or two of us might of ended with a face like this!
  (meet Izzi, the only non-blue eyed grand kid...1 out of 8)
We have learned that the more kids you can get on a tramp the better!  Tonight I tucked in, my exhausted, fun in the sun kids and counted it a good day.  Happy Fathers day.

I'm sending you a boat load of pictures. But you know... not much of Hayli! That little scamp! She was flyin' under the radar that day...
