Target Practice!

We got to go camping this past weekend up to Mackay, Idaho with Zack's side of the family, and uncle Garett decided to spoil Mackee yet again for her birthday. He is famous for this. He bought her a pink 22 riffle. Of course she absolutely loves it, and believe it or not she had excellent shot placement and it was her first time using it. She must get that from her mother! A huge thanks to uncle Garett for such a special gift that will be getting used quite often.




Mackee and her daddy!


Shot placement results after the first couple of shots!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOR A SIX YEAR OLD!





Mackee was pretty excited to get such a neat gift. No worries though, this gun will be locked in our safe and safety rules will be reiterated every time it is used. It's exciting for me as a mom to see her use it because it brings back so many memories of my dad taking me out to learn how to shoot when I was little.


So not that we are trying to brag about our talented daughter, but you know fly fishing is more important then hunting in this family. Below is a picture of Mackee showing off her Brooke trout and her famous Cinderella fly rod built by her dad.




On top of all the outdoor fun. Izzie had some fun of her own while camping. Whenever her sisters would take her for a ride in the JEEP, she would laugh hysterically every time. It was so cute!

A girl in our ward that is Mackee's age just got the same gun. Mackee did a great job shooting.

Ok now where do you find a pink gun? That is just too cute. And I love the fly fishin rod. It's great to see that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
