Shooting in Delle

Yesterday Paul took Corey and me to go shooting out in Delle, Utah. For those of you, like myself, who have never heard of it before.. it is off west I-80 past Saltair and on your way to Wendover. The drive was pretty cool before too because we were able to see all of the rock art along the side of I-80. It's really neat seeing how people express themselves through this stuff, I saw phrases about who people loved, religious beliefs and symbols. If you haven't ever seen it before, it's worth driving west to experience :)

ANYWAY, on to the main part of this blog.. Shooting! :) Once we reached our destination after passing range cows (don't ever get in their way) we picked a spot and unloaded. We started by shooting Paul's 20ga, which is one of my favorites because the double barrel is easier to aim with, in my opinion. Then Corey warmed up to his new Beretta 12ga, by the end of the day he was PRO with that gun!

We also shot a BUNCH of 22's, which was WAY fun! Corey and Paul set up targets of clay pigeons to shoot with the 22's and we shot away! Corey and I challenged each other to who could shoot the target first and knock it down. I was having a BLAST!! I loved being able to use the scope and hit pop cans and knock the clays down. Corey and I were trying to see who could shoot a target first when he ended up shooting it and then I blasted it while it was falling down the hill hahaha! It was great! Corey's pump was definitely faster than mine because he didn't have to tilt the gun down to cock it, which was unfair in our race to see who could shoot the clays first (cough, cough) haha jk. I had a scope so it was fair. We both shot way well and had fun :)

Then came the revolvers :D Corey brought his new s&w 686+ and his mom's ruger blackhawk 41 mag. Corey, Paul and I had a lot of fun shooting these :) Those guns have some KICK to them! It amazed me how much my wrists flew back because of the recoil. The Shock Wave was Intense too! I was standing behind Corey to take a picture of him shooting and I felt the shock wave from his gun on my face and my leg.. it was That strong. It definitely blew me away, can you imagine how much force that is? Wow.

 We ended the day with throwing the last of the clay pigeons and obliterating them with the 12ga and the 20ga. I ended the day by turning the clay into dust with the 20ga, which I was super proud of because I'm learning to aim better :) and Corey blew the clay into smithereens with his Beretta. It was DEFINITELY a great way to spend the day :D

Easter!

Easter was great this year! I was able to visit Dad, Cami, Jeremy, Lexi, Ariana, and Ayden in Park City in a little condo they were renting for 4 days for the kid's spring break. We all went to dinner at Ruby Tuesday's and had very tall glasses of flavored lemon-aide. It was great to have all 7 of us together again for dinner :)

Then on Easter, Corey's grandpa reserved a table at the Alta Club for the whole family, since he's been a member for like 50 years. Dee Dee, Polkey, Charlie, Diane, Martha, Corey and I all accompanied him :) The food was Absolutely Amazing! It was a buffet of lamb, crab, shrimp, beef and a lot of other yummy stuff :) I've never been to the Alta Club before so it was really neat to be able to go and see the "woman's entrance" and to get dressed up for dinner. We all had a great time and left very stuffed :)

Epsilon

So for my birthday, which was a while ago.. sorry I've been busy with finals so I haven't been able to post many blogs.. so hopefully I can catch up! Anyway, Corey bought me a beta fish for my birthday! I have wanted a beta fish pretty much my entire life but just haven't ever bought one.. so Corey bought it for me :) His name is Epsilon and he has this awesome iridescent blue and green color, kind of like a peacock feather. He being a "martyr for his kind," as Corey used to say, because it took him about 2 weeks, five types of beta food, and a lot of pleading, before he actually ate. He only eats freeze dried blood worms.. go figure, the most expensive food. haha Epsilon is definitely worth it thought because when he eats it is the coolest thing ever because he stalks the food and then lunges and chomps the worm. It's pretty entertaining. :)
