Shotgunning Yo. Because it's sexy.

Saturday was perhaps the best day ever! Katherine, my room roommate, and I went shooting with Jared and Joe, boys from our ward, Mike, Joe's friend, Jacob and Eric, Mike's mission companions, Jameson + wife and Adam + wife, Eric's friends. I think I have that right. It gets a little fuzzy after Joe's friend Mike. Anywho, it was an amazing day. All kinds of things happened to make it a great day.

When we got to the shooting hill, I guess it's a range but I'm not entirely sure, it's a hill that lotsa people shoot on. The ground is littered with ammo shells and blasted skeets. In places it almost seems as though Utah not only has red dirt, but bright orange dirt as well.

Right, when we got to the hill and pulled out the tv and guns we realized that someone got the wrong ammo for the guns. This person bought 20 gauge instead of 12 gauge. Oops, but entertaining none the less. We had 2 shells and they let me blast the tv on the left to smithereens. So cool! Jared said that we should have brought out a generator and had the tv going when I shot it. that would have been awesome!

Me + TV+shell

Luckily Mike's miss companions were coming with a 20 gauge and plenty of 12 gauge ammo. The day was saved and made more entertaining. These are the guys Katherine and I rode up with trying to figure how to set up the skeet shooter. Priceless, they even consulted the instructions. It was just to kill time and even more luckily Eric had the hand throwers.

Boys from left to right.

While the boys were trying to figure out the contraption, we took lovely photos. :) Because it's sexy. (Jared asked what the flaps on my jacket were for and I started responding, "Because it's se....." when I realized who I was saying this too. Joe asked me what I said and I repeated the entire phrase and after much teasing I joked that it was my reply to everything. "Tegan what are you doing?" "Because it's sexy.") And so are we.

Me+Katherine

Katherine and the boys blasting skeets from the sky. Jared became a pro skeet thrower I might add. I had to try twice, the first time it stuck, the second time it flew. Only to be dashed to pieces by proshooters. I count my roommate and myself in that too.

Jacob+Katherine+Joe

Awww, precious. Katherine and me taking pictures of us shooting. The gun in my hands is a good luck gun. I hit five of the seven skeets with it. Also it was the first gun I fired that day.

This my friends, is me with an assault rifle. Yes I did actually shoot it. Eric also had an AK-47 so basically, I'm a terrorist. But not really. I didn't hit anything with either gun. I'll just stick to my 20 gauge shotguns. Because it's sexy.

Eric's truck can basically do anything. He wanted to go off roading and we said, why not? Mike's truck wishes it could do everything Eric's truck can do. This is Eric's truck pulling Mike's truck out of the deep snow. Oops :) Don't worry Mike, at least you have a truck and not a car. That would have been really messy. We went to the tip of the mountain and over looked the lake. It was absolutely angelic. God truly is a remarkable artist.

This is Mike's truck getting stuck... again. Only this time on a rock. We tried to use the same rope as before but... it tore, three times. So we turned to more conventional methods. Men. All seven of the males on the trip picked up the truck and walked it over the rock. I was in the cab steering. I feel like I did all the work.

This man holds a world record in weightlifting. He at one time could bench 500+ lbs. Yeah, impressive.

After a long day of shooting and off road romping we stopped at McD's and took them up on their offer of 50 chicken nuggets for 10 smackaroos. A most satisfying day indeed. Because it's sexy.
