Yosemite Trip

We spent a weekend camping with friends at Yosemite National Park. It was super fun. We'd never been to Yosemite, and we were amazed at how gorgeous the whole place is. As you can see from the pictures below we had a great time and saw some God's amazing creation!

Kool April Nites

Here in the Redding area they have an annual classic car show. Our favorite part is the Friday night cruise. They shut down a cruise route in the middle of the city for a few hours, and hundreds of cars cruise around for the audience of thousands. This year the weather was perfect to sit out in our lawn chairs and watch the show. Our good friends came up from Sacramento to watch the cruise and hang out for the weekend. It was just all super fun. So enjoy some pictures of some cool cars and cool people.

My Shooting Experience

My first day of the shooting league was a disaster. Maybe because I was the newest rookie or something, but I did exceptionally poor. I shot twenty-five rounds of shells and hit only seven clay pigeons. I blamed it on the gun I used. I used my brother inlaw's gun cause I forgot the one I had used the previous Saturday at home.



The second week was better than the first week. "I had a better gun". I shot the first twenty five rounds and hit seventeen. That's a better score. We also moved further away from our former sport, about twenty-three feet away from the original spot for the second shot. Twenty-five more rounds of shells were dispensed and I managed to get six. It was my first time to shoot from that distance and I was impresed with my shots.


If I blame my dismal performance on the the gun I used the first day, then last Thursday's shooting is unexplainable. I can't find any thing to blame it on. I was just BAD!! It was frustrating to loose almost every shot while guys all around you continued to destroy the clay pigeons. It was too embarassing.

However, it was fun. I always enjoy shooting at the range. I also took it as a sportsman, losing is not the end of the road, rather it gives me an oportunity to improve. Being frustrated or whining doesn't help us that much. What are we going to do about our frustration? Quit? That's not an option.


I walked away with a few tips and the resolve to do better next thursday. I will let you guys know how it goes next Thursday.

Wild West

Last Saturday we went to the Redding gun club to shoot clay pigeons. It was a fund raising event orgainized by guys in our community.

me and my friend Jim.


There were lots of prizes to be won but I didn't win anything. I came close to winning a prize but lost to him in a shoot out. I was impressed with my performance though cause I lost to an old timer. There were seven of us shooting and the guy and I made it to the shoot out.

The good news is that I'm gonna join the Redding gun club league sharting this Thursday April 3rd. It's a three month competition with lots of shells "bullets" to be wasted. We will be shooting average of 50 shells each time we meet. So the next time you see me please don't forget to talk louder.

I'm also playing in the Redding Adult Soccer League every Sunday. So I've got quite enough sports going this spring.

Hola!!

Our third day of our cruise was spent in Ensenada, Mexico. We were just there last month on our mission trip, so it was fun to go back to the taco shop we had been to before. We did a little shopping and ate amazing carne asada tacos.

Catalina Island

Our second day of the crusie was spent on Catalina Island. We walked around and shopped a bit. Someone gave us a $5 dollar off coupon for a store, so we got a discount for the flip flops Sarah bought. It's the small things in life... :)

We went on a cruse the last week of February. It was kind of a last minute vacation that we planned when we found a great deal on a cruise online. We had a fantastic time. We were on the ship from Monday afternoon to Friday morning. We went to Catalina Island, Ensenada and spent one day on the sea. The weather was great for our two days off the ship. Enjoy some pics.
