Kaylee wiped out hard on the concrete, and these are her wounds.
Two knees, two hands, one pinky and one chin.
|
Like a real 'girl', however, she was not too wounded to go make
jewelry. Here she is picking out the shells she wants to use
for a bracelet.
|
Gayle & Cindy are also making anklets.
|
It's the jewelry table!
|
Kaylee worked hard to string together all those beads and shells.
|
Such a pondering expression...
|
There's more focus. Almost done. :)
|
Well, we are at the firing range now. Kaylee is fitted with
ear and eye protection just like the rest of us.
|
Grandpa Takes Aim
|
This is what the firing range looked like. Small targets
pinned to wooden slats in front of a dirt pile.
|
Here we are lined up behind the red line taking turns.
|
Three Shaffer men.
|
|
Now it's Kaylee's turn-her first time with a real rifle and real
bullets.
|
She gets some directions from the instructor...
|
Then waits for the "okay".
|
She did quite well with handling the gun. She loaded and
unloaded it herself, cocked it, aimed it, put the safety off and on,
etc.
|
She had trouble with the actual aiming part of it, but that will
come. :)
|
There's Steve...fortunately nobody got me at archery or
riflery as far as I know.
|
Pontoon ride is next!
|
It's a lovely sunny day for a boat ride. Uncle Kevin
protecting his skin.
|
Isn't that pretty?
|
A relaxing ride...
|
Grandma & Grandpa on the boat.
|
Kaylee & Mommy on the boat.
|
Kaylee & Daddy hit the water one last time before we leave.
|
Meanwhile, some of my family gets on the hayride to the pole barn
to go line dancing.
|
The guy with his arms up is my Uncle Rick. :)
|
Kaylee hits the slide again, with Daddy to catch her this
time.
|
Maybe by the end of summer she won't be afraid to splash under
water on these slides.
|
Next was "Funyaking"! Little non-tipping kayaks for kids
and adults alike.
|
She paddles off into the sunset just fine, with Daddy behind her.
|
They had a good time.
|
|
Goofball.
|
Steve on a hunt to crash into Kaylee.
|
Holding hands in the funyaks, watching the lake go by.
Sweet.
|
Some of the chatting that went on in the cabin after hours.
|
The other side of the cabin...
|
More dock watching...
|
Those fish were huge, I'm telling you...
|
You can't see it very well, but this is the main hangar for
Potosi, MO. It was a nice little place. :)
|
Out my window on the flight home from Potosi, in the Saratoga. |
