Jason and his family are friends of ours. He does firearms training for the forest service. His wife and son were out of town so he offered to take me out and try some shooting this afternoon. Here I am firing an AR-15 semi automatic. I did ok with this gun. The high caliber hand guns I tried later were a little more challenging to hit the target even when standing much closer.
This weather has been way unseasonably warm. It hit 66 degrees this afternoon on the car temp reading, which is incredible for March 8. We did a family outing to Fall River today. Drove southwest of Bend to the Fall River Campground. From there we simply hiked upriver along the fisherman's trail along the water returning the same way. Red came along and enjoyed playing in the water, as did the kids.
Today we had another spring skiing day at Bachelor with temps in the 60's and no wind. I convinced the boys that we could do the Summit today. We ended up doing it about 5 times. Boys loved it. It was the first time for both of them to get to the Summit runs.
Abbie hasn't been to the hill since December. Today I took her and she spent the morning on the bunny hill and has now stated she is 'done' and ready for the bigger chairlift.
This is a cute video of her blowing both skis on a small wipeout.
Well, it may have been called Winterfest but it felt like summerfest today with temps in the high 50's with no snow. A great family day out. The kids loved the dogs and especially the x-games motocross jumping. Noah says he wants to do that. We went to Cascade Lakes brewery for dinner.
Abbie of course is Hello Kitty
Hunter is the Minecraft creeper
Noah is the Lego guy
Noah was invited to a birthday party at our friends - the Lovejoys. Their sons name is Noah also. They played army games at the party which the boys all loved. They were split on to two teams - Honor and Valor. Noah was on team 'Honor'. There was an obstacle course and they also played capture the flag. Their party favor included the t-shirt they are wearing and wooden machine gun you see them all holding:)
Took advantage of the abnormally warm winter day and went to the park.
Hunter wanted to hit the park today so we spent most of the day there. Unfortunately Noah wasn't feeling well so he couldn't make it. Here is one of his jumps. He doesn't quite stick this one but he was landing and sticking others.
