Easter Egg Hunt

With the kids getting a little older, we decided to take the tradition of an Easter egg "hunt" a little more literally.

Raw eggs make a lovely mess

But plastic eggs filled with flour make an even more satisfying "poof" sound and visual effect

Cleanup isn't as bad as you'd think; a .22 round leaves just a small hole

Getting Out the Big Guns

The kids have been shooting bb guns and .22 rifles for a few years.  After a very long gun safety lecture/reminder and lots of instruction, they got to try out some of our 'big' guns this weekend.

R shot a single 9mm round through my husband's CZ 75 and was satisfied enough not to ask to fire another.  I believe it was the equivalent of letting a kid have a sip of beer so they realize they're not missing out on anything they would like just yet.

For W, we put a 410 insert into the 12 gauge.
