Fun Time

We went to Madison to shop. We went to Academy Sports and Frankie and Mariam got new shoes. Josh already had new shoes at home. We also bought 4 boxes of .22 ammo to use in the .22 rifle of Dad's. No telling how many years since the gun was used but it shot good. It's semi-automatic and each of us got 10 shots. Frankie had bought a case of cheap carbonated canned drinks and we used them as part of our targets. We'd shake up the drinks and then stand back and shoot them and it was awesome to see them explode. I just shot 10 shots and then went in to fix dinner for Dad. They cleaned up the woods of all the blasted cans and one milk jug and several paper targets and we had a jumbo plastic garbage bag full of debris. After that, they drove down the road to where it dead ends and looked for the fellow who owns the horses. They have 20 horses and they come to feed them every afternoon and told the kids if they were down there next time they were here they would let them ride a horse. But tonight they were just feeding them. Mariam and Josh got to pet one of them and Frankie got pictures of them.. After dinner, we watched TV. We went to bed at 10 PM our time which is 11PM in Knoxville time. I'm not used to staying up this late either but we'll get back on our regular schedule when everyone leaves tomorrow.
