Butt

I have poison oak on mine...again.  I have no idea how I did it this time.  I think it's either on my pants that I haven't worn since were were hunting, or I'm getting it from the outhouse.  Yes, I took a picture from inside the outhouse.  Last year I found a bunny in there.  This year it was just spiders and possibly poison oak.
It's annoying to say the least.  I was super careful about everything I did.  Even when we were on the 4-wheelers, I stayed well away from any brush.  I didn't help hide or hunt eggs because I didn't want it on my arms.  At least on my arms, I could openly scratch!

The Girl brought The Boyfriend.  This trip is a major test of any new relationship.  You're not only meeting family, you're meeting extended "family" that aren't even related to the person you're with.  You'll be teased and questioned and watched and judged.  He made it through just fine.  I knew he would.  I had at least 4 people come and tell me how much they liked him.  It takes a special kind of person to fit in with this family. 

It probably sucks when your girlfriend knows a little more about guns than you do.  Here he is shooting and she's spotting for him.

Here she is un-jamming his gun.  I think she out-shot him in every event.  At one point I heard her say "Maybe we should spend more time working on your shooting and less time watching movies".  Ouch.

  1. Ha!! Great post :) (Sorry about your...discomfort....) Confession: I thought the first picture was of the nighttime sky outside the outhouse. I was like, "That is an amazing picture, outhouse or no!!" Then I realized the unusually large moon was the cutout on the door.... :)

  2. Ugh. Poison oak. The outhouse shot brought back some memories. My dad's cousins had a camp near my grandparents' house way out in the woods. There was an outhouse behind the camp that had long since been abandoned but one day my sister and I (we were around 8 & 9 at the time) were adventuring out in the woods and she didn't think she could make it back so she went into the outhouse to go and realized at the last minute that there was a groundhog snuffling around down in the hole. Yup, she peed on a groundhog. And thirty-five years later has yet to live it down. ;)

  3. It's always fun with the love interests come around. My daughter is 17 and is always nervous when it is time to bring a new one to the house.

    Dropping by from the A to Z Challenge. It's my first year.
