Randy's shotgun merit badge

Last night after work we took Randy south of town to complete his shotgun shooting merit badge. He had to hit 12 out of 25 clay pigeons in two rounds. In the first round he hit 13 out of 17. In the second round he hit 12 out of 19. This completed his merit badge. The rest of the requirements he completed this past summer while he was a scout camp. He has two more merit badges to complete to earn his silver palm.

Vacation

We took some time this past week and went to the mountains. Paul, Rich and Randy are plotting a strategy to capture a ground squirrel. You know what they say about the best laid plans.

Miami is an OK place - lots of water

Scott, Julie and Landon are in Miami. They are close to lots of water. This picture of Landon was taken on a sandy beach at a lake behind their house.

Car Show

Back to the car show --

Paul, Rich and Randy are standing by Larry H. Miller's 1.8 million dollar Cobra. They wanted to take it for a "spin" but the answer was no - go figure.

Checking out the high country

We took a beautiful hike in the Windriver Mountains. We were checking out places for Mikal to go when he comes for vacation.

Randy's Garden

Randy is growing a garden to earn his gardening merit badge. Here he is planting flowers as one of the requrements.

Cache Cruise-In

On the 7th of July we went to the Cache Cruise-In. It is a great car show. There are over 1000 cars on display. This picture is of Paul's favorite.

The 4th of July at Bear Lake

On the 4th of July we went to Bear Lake with Paul's family.

Fishing in Alaska

If you look in the background you will see the 1000 lb grizzly that sent us running for the airplane.

Paul's fishing adventure

Paul and Richie are trolling for gators on top of 'ol nessie.

Pictures are part of the experience.

Today is June 19th.

I am taking a class on blogging - checking out the possibilities.
