lovin' summer #6

It started innocently enough three years ago. We spent 4th of July, 2011 in Payson with our MR KLUD friends. Doug and Ursi brought some Peeps and their BB/pellet gun. Mike and Richard set up a board on top of two saw horses while Doug got the "blind" ready. Then they arranged the Peeps on the board, assigned point values to them and we were ready. We played guys against gals (Laurie, Ursi and Kristin) and the gals won by a landslide! And they did the following year, too!

What started as just something to do while we were waiting for the fireworks that evening has turned into an annual competition. It prompted Mike and Richard to purchase their own BB/pellet guns so each couple can sight their own. Some people have even practiced during the year. And we all eagerly await the Annual Peep Shoot each summer on the 4th of July. After all, what is more patriotic than exercising our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms??

This year, during the 3rd Annual Peep Shoot, Mike and Laurie's son and daughter-in-law (Matt and Danielle) joined in the festivities. But despite having another good shot on our team, the guys claimed the title for the first time. Will there be a rematch next year? Absolutely!! In fact, Peep purchasing may have already begun...

The Third Annual Peep Shoot ~ July 4, 2013

To make things even more interesting this year, Doug threaded Peeps on a long thread, then tied the thread between the saw horse and a lawn mower handle (3rd photo down on the left). These Peeps moved in the wind and were much harder to shoot. They were also worth more points. 

I  LOVE  SUMMER!!!
