Family Reunion Post #1

by jrwarfield

So as I have mentioned briefly in other posts, but this last weekend we went to North Carolina for Grant’s Family Reunion. It was mainly his immediate family, cousins, aunts, and uncles there. We got there in the afternoon on Friday and left early Sunday morning. This post is VERY picture heavy, mainly because I want everyone to be able to get any of our pictures that they want. I have pretty much included all of them except really blurry ones. If you want a photo, click on it, and then right click and hit Save As to the place on your computer that you want. Anyway, the visit was awesome, Sandi and Rick have such a beautiful property, and the weather only rained a few times but mainly great weather.

Krystal was a great shot, I am pretty sure she hit every target at least 10 times.

DSC_4983

Listening to more pointers.

DSC_4984

Shooting, I hit a decent amount especially for being my second time ever shooting something that isn’t a bow and arrow or air soft gun.

I think he is shooting iron sights which if I heard correctly means there isn’t a scope on this gun…

DSC_5255

We had a low country boil which Grant and I have never had before. We have been at a crawfish boil,but both agreed that the low country was better. It is potatoes, corn, shrimp, crab legs, sausage, and seasonings, and you get a lot more meat for less work than with the crawfish. Of course every meal was amazing that we ate!

DSC_5281

Bryan as everyone was finished with target practice.

WOW! Beautiful Pictures – thank you so much for sharing with us! We had such a wonderful time with everyone here this past weekend, and really enjoyed all the laughter, catching up, meeting new family members, good times and good eating! I think Rick did a great job with all the outside activities, and I thank all the ladies for all their help with food and inside stuff!

Nice shots. I’m glad most of the guns were bolt-action because nobody had eye protection. For shame!
