4-8-14 Amandas first time at the range

Finally bringing my little girl to the range. Always hoped I would be able to see her first shots. We have done a lot over the years and shes a well rounded lady. Happy shes interested in learning how to shot. Started with Ruger .22 pistol.

We had hoped for a nicer day but the crowd kept us warm. Really creative signs filled the event.

Nothing like a flag waving American. I lived across the street from a World War II vet that was like a Grandfather to me. He was a proud American and made me proud to be one with him.

This Man didn't let the Flag stop waving. One Speaker made reference to him and got a great rise from the crowd.

Happy we came down to see our fellow Americans today. Maybe next time we can pack the park.

Spotted this Barnaby Jones machine in a parking lot. My Grandfather had one.

We are off on Vacation today. Our flight just got out of Hartford with a blizzard pulling into town as we were leaving. It did make our plane leave a little later then it should have. We arrived in Florida to see our connecting flight pulling away. Lucky for us American put us on a plane to Puerto Rico where we jumped on these little guys to St.Thomas.

Running into friends we've met here from past years really adds to this spot.

It took us a week but we finally made the trek to One Love for lobster quesadilla.
