The weather has again been great and we are spending some time outside as usual. I did have the kids out in the Oconto again as a friend of mine had to sight in a new gun. It was also a good chance for the kids to try shooting the SKS. This is not an ideal training gun and was done with the utmost of caution. They both got to shoot it one time, albeit that we left the bayonet in. Merrick smacked the wooden stick of the target just below the target itself and the sent the target swirling about 10 feet in the air. It was pretty cool, and the guy I was with concurred in true guy fashion, "that was cool." We hit Bay Beach again with some friends and as always had a great time. Still didn't get on the big roller coaster but plenty of other rides that go in circles. Thursday night we spent around the campfire and had some smores. Although Sophia is about to get plenty of this as she heads off to camp next Sunday. We finished up our smores and then hung out on the blue blanket and read old travel/outdoor stories from the journal. This has become one of the more pleasurable past times of the summer, and the kids seem to equally enjoy the stories they are in as well as the ones that occurred long before they were here.
