This weekend Mike became a little more Texan. We've only lived here for almost 6 years...its about time. Ever since we moved out to Rotan we have been talking about getting a gun. We live out in the country now and if we were to see a snake or a coyote or wild dog we wanted a way to protect us and the girls from them. So finally, Mike got his gun. Its a bolt action .22 rifle...nothing fancy. Just something to take care of varmits! Here are some pics of him teaching the girls about gun safety and the different parts of a gun. We want to make sure that they know not to bother it and that they know how to be around it safely. Disclaimer: the gun is not loaded and the safety is on...the magazine with the ammo isn't anywhere near the gun let alone installed in these pictures. In case you were worried.
And here's Mike shooting his gun for the first time. They recently pulled up a bunch of trees from our yard so that served as the perfect target. Right now there is a run on ammunition so all we have to shoot is rat shot, which is fine because that's mostly what we plan to use anyways for the varmits around here.
Now if we could just get Mike into a pair of cowboy boots, he might actually fit in around here! Love you babe!
