We started our day off with shooting, specifically of the 7:30 am with coffee-in-hand variety. Our goal: to achieve the tightest possible groups on Anne's new left-handed Savage MKII .22 with cheap ammo. A group average of less than .500 inches at 25 yards earns us kudos in a game we are playing with others in an online shooting forum. The target shown just squeaked by, with an average of .462. (This would have been even better if Anne hadn't let her mind wander to candy bars on the final shot!)
Then we did the responsible thing, shutting off our cell phones and leaving for a day at Fort Peck Lk down on the Charlie Russell Preserve (better known here as the CMR). Our family of friends found plenty to do aside from just catching fish. Left to right: Eric selects his next bait move carefully, we set up the "line of attack," Wanda works to bring dinner onshore, Ty flexes some major muscles, Beach Ball gets saved in less than 2 ft of water, Pip & Brie think about getting back their ball, the guys start a professional stone skipping league, John & Marissa wonder how they got stuck with such weird friends & Anne offers fresh fish.
Looks like a fun day! How did the baby feel about the target practice? When Tim and I were working on the nursery and putting up trim with the nail gun, she jumped every time we fired. ;o)
