Valentines Weekend

Jon and I were separated this past weekend, which sucked. This was our first valentines we spent apart. Jon had a construction competition in Reno in which he left Wednesday at 3:30 AM. He rode on a bus for 12 long hours, in which he did not sleep. He was able to return Sunday at 2:00 AM. His team did well. They were late turning their project in, so they could not place. The rumor is if they did turn in it on time they would have placed 3. So GOOD JOB. Jon slept most of Sunday and even slept in Monday morning ( any one who knows Jon knows that he does not sleep in at all!).

So I did not want to be by myself the whole entire time, so my sister and I decided to go to my Aunt Malea's house. We left Friday at 2:30 and got back Monday around 1. It had been so long since I had I seen them. It was fun to play with everyone, except for Wyatt decided to throw up Saturday night. That was not fun. We watched a lot of movies. There was also a lot of baking involved. We even did chores. So I would put up pictures from Jon's competition, but he did not give me any, so there are just pictures from my Aunts house.

PondSkimming

Our school does Pondskimming every February for spirit week. Since I do the publicity for Outdoor Activities, I had the opportunity to help out. Now since I helped out Jon had no choice, he was going to do it. He went towards the end, and was freezing. If you cant tell he is wearing waiters and started going down in his fishing hat. He went down on an air board. He did pretty good, he didn't make it all the way across but he also did not have a really awesome crash. When he reach the end of the "pond" he hurried out and went to the warming tents to dry off and change clothes. The night was really fun and I am really glad Jon did it. I think secretly he had fun.

First time the gun was shot

We finally got out to shoot Jon's gun for the first time. He got this gun for Christmas. It is an AR 15 223. It is really pretty and heavy. It took us so long to shoot because he had to get a scope and mount it just right. Also we had to wait for a some what warm day so that we don't freeze. We went to the gun range for the first time and found out that it is 5 dollars a person to shoot, so Jon was the only one that got to shoot his gun. He did really good for "siting " in the gun. You can't really see his target but he is pretty close in the middle. It was really fun and we can't wait to go out and shoot it some more. He now wants to go coyote hunting in a week to really find out how it shoots.

Sheep Falls

A couple weeks ago Jon and his friend Andrew decided to explore Sheep falls in the winter time. They snow shoed 6-8 miles round trip. They hiked down to the falls and tried to do alittle fishing (if they caught a fish there would be a picture). All in all they had fun and saw a lot of animal tracks like: moose, coyote, and rabbit.
