Grandma.

My grandma is here! She was really sick 2 years ago but she came down to spend the week end with all her kids, grand kids and great grand kids.

When in America do as the Americans do...

At my aunt's house in Michigan, USA (the last time we were here, 4 years ago) we shot a 12 gauge shotgun and a 22 caliber rifle. This time my cousin Gary brought along a few guns from his collection. Including what I would like to call a ristol, a gun that looks like a long pistol but fires rifle ammo. Quite the gun. We also fired a magnum handgun, NOT THE SAME SIZE AS DIRTY HARRY'S, but I now have a new found respect for guys that can actually shoot handguns. Also there was a double barrel shotgun which we noticed a wee bit later was loaded with extra strength shells and those at 12 gauge packed a punch. With four shotguns at the ready we then started shooting clay pigeons, which is a lot harder then one would think. All in all a fun and loud day.

Burgers and Baseball

Today for lunch we ate Burgers, Hotdogs, potato salad, noodle salad and lots of deserts. Not long after lunch I was called and told we were playing catch, which turned into a full game of baseball. AWESOME!
