I started this blog at the urging of friends and family in April 2010 when my husband and I were given an opportunity to relocate in Maryland for one year. We have now returned home to Arizona and continue to walk by faith as we watch God orchestrate the adventures in our lives. I invite you to share in our adventures as we watch God at work!

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7

thankful thursday - peeps

It all started innocently enough. Someone said, "We should bring our BB guns up here next time for some target practice!" and someone else jokingly added, "Yeah, we could shoot Peeps!" And the next thing we knew, an annual Peep shooting contest was born.

We held our 5th Annual Peep Shooting Contest last weekend (Labor Day weekend) in Payson, Arizona at the home of our friends. Another couple joined us and collectively, we are known as MR. KLUD.

The contest is always guys vs. gals. Scores were not as high this year for several reasons: 1) we changed from just hitting a Peep to the Peep having to fall off the board, 2) the deck was redone and we shot from farther away, and 3) we lowered the point values on some of the Peeps.

And for the third year, the guys won.

We always string a couple of Peeps and hang them in a tree - moving targets are harder to hit and worth waaaay more points! Though we are all competitive, it really is just a fun thing to do. 

Most of the Peeps disintegrate (we purposely let them dry out a bit!) or break into pieces. But occasionally you get a clean shot!

I am thankful that we have friends who enjoy doing silly things as much as we do. And who take time to help each other, not just win at all costs. And that Peeps are 75-90% off the day after Easter!
