Me + a Gun = Watch out

Friday, April 20, 2012 0 Comments
First time a shootin'

I have never held a gun in my life, and I was perfectly blissful in my gun ignorance, until I met Pacer. I admire that about them. I never thought I would ever touch a gun let alone shoot one. So I was mildly surprised that I actually quite enjoyed shooting a gun. It was so fun, I had a blast *haha pun intended* and I look forward to the next time. actually I am saving bottles for shootin'

Thanks Pacer & Margaret for teaching me a new activity.
