Youth Safari Day 2016

Ready for some action!

Danni got an archery lesson!

Me too!  I even hit the target!

Ready to shoot rifles!

I was a sharpshooter... I hit the target AND got candy!

More shooting practice!

I found a chicken friend in the petting zoo!

The boy scouts helped us make quail callers....

Learning to cast...

She did a pretty good job too!

Danni had two good bites... but they got away....

I caught some swamp grass....

Shooting clay pigeons. I got a piece of a couple of them!

She liked the rubber band guns because they weren't quite as noisy.

Danni got to play fetch with a duck hunting doggie - he fetched his toy out of the pond!

Rock climbing!

All geared up!

She almost got to the top, despite her shoes!

Paintball shooting!

She shot too... even though the paint balls were green... not pink!

Mommy and I braved the swamp water for a kayaking adventure.  

We met a furry friend in the taxidermy trailer.

Safety first!

A cold, sweet treat was in order!!

We have been looking forward to Youth Safari Day since we attended last summer, so we were thrilled that the date FINALLY rolled around!!  Our local shooting range hosts an amazing event where kids can go and try all kinds of outdoor activities.  We got to fire all kinds of guns, fish, kayak, shoot bows and arrows, rock climb, and play with hunting dogs!  Everything we did was super cool!!  (I just wish that it literally was super cool -- it got HOT out there!!)  Now I want Mommy and Daddy to sign me up for archery lessons!!
