Easter with a BANG

When Kenny was a child, his family had a tradition that they would go into the dessert or up in the canyon and have an Easter egg hunt or go fishing and a few times they went shooting.  After talking about it, we decided that we could combine a couple of those traditions into one and got some family together to begin our own tradition of Easter egg hunting.  We had so many people come and I am so thankful to each and all of our family t hat came.

We all chipped in and brought our guns and some food for snacks and lunch. Chris was our amazing sandwich maker.  Everyone chipped in and brought targets that ranged from the traditional target sheets to bottles of colored water, plastic eggs filled with flour (so they could go "poof") and our boys even colored and decorated raw eggs to bring.  They totally exploded! It was so cool.  It was so messy :) I even donated my princess pinata from my birthday.

Most of the pictures below explain themselves, so I'm not going to add much after them except maybe a little something.  Enjoy!!

All the kido's  (Jackson, Chase, Drake, Taylor, Kelton and Steve and Rex in the background)

Becca with the .45  those are the raw decorated eggs on the table

Becca with the AR 15

Becca with the Shotgun.  She shot both shotguns and the other one took off her earring and pinched her ear when it kicked.  She was so outgoing and having fun.

Becca with the AK 47  Rex was so good at taking the time to help explain what to do, how to stand and what to expect.

Chase with his Uncle's AK 47...need I say more, what a kid!!

Chase, Chris, Kelton and Ron

Chris, Chase and Ron.   Yes, that is Chris shooting!

 I couldn't help it, I love watching Kenny shoot.  Here is a little of him shooting. He was aiming at my princess castle pinata...there was no hope for it.

Easter eggs mixed in with other targets

Jackson with his BB gun

Kelton shooting the 300 Winchester Magnum.  I'm so proud of him, that gun had a kick like a mule. He did awesome.

Kelton and Taylor with our .22's

Kelton shooting Rex's Shotgun...Rex brought special amo just for Kelton.  Let's just say it wasn't just bird shot :)  Notice my little princess castle in the background, never had a chance.

Oh my, Kenny with his AR 15, his .45 on his hip and his tat just showing.

Kenny, Taylor and Kelton

Ron and Shauna...Yep, my mom was actually shooting and had a ball!!!

Kenny again! This time with his .22.  Still makes me go pitter patter :)  That would be our 15 year old in the background.

Me and Jessie

Time to reload

Rex and his baby....AK 47

Rex with Steve's 30.06

Really, no words needed here!   Rex, Kenny, Chris, and Becca

Steve helping Drake his son.

Steve, his 30.06, sighting it in....did an amazing job and blew the bottle to bits.

Steve, his 30.06 and an audiance

Little break time before more destruction.

We all had so much fun and went through more ammo than I can even fathom.  I loved it when Kenny and Rex stood together and both shot their riffles at the same time, it was so loud and destructive.  

This was the perfect way for our family to do an Easter egg hunt.  Why just find them and pick them up when you can shoot them?  

Embrace the Redneck within!!
