Long weekend at the Cabin

I used to worry about what I was missing back in the 'real world' whenever I was at the Cabin. But I must say that i'm really getting this whole relaxing thing down. Life can actually be a lot of fun without cell phones and computers...for a little while at least.


Who Wouldn't love the cabin when you get to spend time with this hunk!

Mostly I just hang out and read/sleep/have hammock wars with people who get on the hammock next to me.
This trip was a truly special one because I shot a gun for the FIRST time.
This is me pretending I know what my dad is telling me to shoot at...

I was a little bit terrified but my dad is a pretty good teacher. He got mad at me when I closed one of my eyes and told me to keep both eyes open. This immediately reminded me of that scene in Pocahontas when John Smith says the same thing. The fact that i'm making these kinds of inferences will show you about how much experience I have with guns.;)

Oh ya, that is the shell from my very first bullet! I think i'm pretty hardcore, but Landen said I looked sort of pathetic when I actually shot the gun. "Very non-Sarah Walker'esk" in his words (reference to Chuck). Next time I go shooting i'll wear a miniskirt and high heels - I bet my aim will be better that way, and then i'll really be able to show off my MAD Secret Agent SKILLZ!

  1. I didn't know your dad had guns. Sweet! Maybe we'll have to go shooting when I come to Utah in a few weeks. I gotta make sure I can shoot straight so that I can get my elk in September.

  2. My dad only has a couple, and they are just so we feel safe when we're hiking in bear country. I would love to go shooting with you when you're here though, I have a feeling you could give me a few pointers!
