Shooting

Zach wanted to go camping for his birthday, surprisingly I agreed and several of us were going to go. Lucky for me my rain dance worked and the camping was cancelled. However, a replacement testosterone-laden activity was chosen. Guns. In the wilderness. Shooting grapefruits on the side of a mountain to be specific.

Um Rachel and Chad, next time try too look a little tougher when your posing with guns.

Like this:

That's the O.G. (Original Gangster you guys)

Zach took the whole situation very seriously. Rachel nudged the truck during this moment, and she was scolded. I guess she didn't really understand how important it was TO KILL THE GRAPEFRUITS.

But she got the idea.

And I of course did not:

I decided to be really pretty for the camera instead.

Zach also bought a tomahawk for this occasion. I'll take a second here to tell you that the next day when I went to his house he was watching "The Patriot", why you ask? "To learn how to use my tomahawk correctly," he said.

Little did he know, we had a tomahawk expert among us: one Rachel Jones.

Don't let our innocent faces deceive you. The horrifying grapefruit carnage is laying just out of camera range.

Lol

Is there anything funnier than Zach watching The Patriot for a tomahawk tutorial? No.

This whole post is disturbing and very entertaining. As a pacifist and someone who is afraid to even LOOK at a gun, I admire your willingness to indulge your beloved. He sits through 'Hairspray' and you shoot grapefruits in the wilderness. I guess that's a fair tradeoff.

Zachary, what's with the obsession with all the weaponry? I think he should maybe have been a Navy SEAL??

I always used to bite down when I shot a gun-and didn't enjoy the experience...I don't understand the joy in shooting at all, but way to be a good fiancee :)

The Rachel video is priceless. Cub Scout Den Mother in the making!

Were those native grapefruit? I hope you didn't break in Environmental or Endangered Fruit laws.

PS Love Chad's Hatch ears.

Testosterone-laden made me laugh really hard. And after reading the other comments, is it so weird to read you're a fiance?! Whoop-whoop!

I know engaged life is difficult, but you are really ignoring your blog/blog friends. Pick it up, Guttery.
