Day 228: Perkins Party

When Kieran told his cousin we were coming to visit, Eric thought it would be funny to suggest we go shooting. His joke was ruined when we said, “Yeah, sure, why not?”

Eric and Gordie loaded the trucks with the dog and guns and we drove along Pemberton Meadows to Kieran’s grandparents farm (655 acres for sale BTW). They set up a wooden board and paper targets and loaded the guns for us. Kieran has shot before and it took Mary a bit of time before she stepped up. Those guns were so heavy and it’s a wonder that people can hold them up and straight to hit a deer.

After shooting, we drove around the property looking for bear tracks and threw rocks/branches into the river. Eventually drove home and completed some yard work to help out at the grandparents old house since we were staying for free.

For dinner we ate tacos and watched a documentary on the Columbia Space Shuttle last flight with Patty.
