Little bit of country

On Wednesday, we took a little break from city life and went to visit our country friends Cade and Julie. The boys went straight for the tire swing.
 

 

They loved taking the dog food out of the bowl and feeding him themselves.
 

Ethan and Cade playing on the swingset...
 

and four wheeling.
 

Before getting on the plane at the airport.
 

Big Cade had put a runway on his property since we visited last so they came by to say hi before going back up.
 

Trevor got a turn to fly!
 

Brent stood underneath Big Cade and Trevor to get pictures as they flew right over his head! He said it was hard to force himself to stand there with a plane so close, even though he trusted Cade because they earned aviation degrees together and flew for the same airline once upon a time.
 

Cute, happy boys in the backseat.
 

Julie and I got to go too! I hadn't been up for years. It was so fun to see how beautiful it was where they live.
 

Carson insisted that he get the first ride on the ATV out to go shooting.
 

Brent insisted I shoot his shotgun that he got himself for Christmas without my blessing. (Not a gun fan, sorry gun lovers.)
 

Big Cade and little Cade.
 

Trevor shooting his dad's shotgun...
 

and Big Cade's gun.
 

Big Cade teaching Ethan to shoot...
 

and Ethan doing it by himself.
 

Last but not least even Carson had a turn.
 

On the drive back everyone piled on the ATV. Carson was NOT happy he had to ride back in the Tahoe.
 

Ethan loved holding this duck. Julie told him to hold it like a baby and he immediately understood seeing as he loves to hold little babies.
 

We were pretty tired by the time we left from playing so much. Thanks for all the fun Cade and Julie!

Yeehaw! Looks like fun. I cannot believe you are holding a gun. What an oxymoron! I hate guns, too.

How exciting for Trevor to fly! Whooohoooo!! And I have to admit the first thing I thought when I saw those kids with that gun was what about their ears!?! Especially Carson! Then I saw the...I wanted to say headphones, but I'm sure that's not the right word. I was so relieved!
