shooting

We went shooting on Saturday August 16th after Darren's birthday to have our own type of celebration of his life. We went to the outdoor range that the boys went to before Darren was married to Holly. (bachelor party) (or just an excuse to go shooting together). David,Danny,Donald and Dennis as well as Karen,Saundra, Kori,Josh,Rachel and I all went to shoot guns that Darren had previously owned. It was hot and dirty but a great way to be busy and have some memories of Darren. Rachel learned to shoot, Josh shot a gun that was given to him by my dad that I shot when I was a teenager. We all took turns in shooting at targets, watermelons and cantelopes. I had a few teary moments missing Darren,Darryl and his family and Shellee and her family. Danny says no girls allowed next time. (whatever). We had our snacks,sodas and a few laughs. It was a busy day at the range. I tried to picture Darren out there and the fun and laughs he and his brothers had.
