Last Chance Ranch

Our friend Tony was kind enough to invite us, and a bunch of other folks, out to his families ranch last weekend for barn dancing, gun shootin, hiking, horseback riding, and good ol' R&R. We had a blast. Declan was his usual good-natured, layed-back self and was a big hit with everyone.

Tony and his family were amazing hosts. They took care of pretty much everything, cooking, cleaning up, DJs, and playing tour guides to the whole crew. The crowd came from all over, Chicago, Crystal City, St. Louis, ...

Jen shot a gun for the first time (and liked it a little too much), we both shot skeet for the first time (I hit one on my first try), and Declan had more firsts than could possibly be listed...

Check out the pics

Well, those are some odd comments... Matt's comments about the Republican party were a joke... he know's I'm not Republican, I'm independent, but think the Republicans are pretty royally screwing everything up right now... And I like this pic cause it's ironic, not because we're fans of the NRA, which we aren't.

i'm not good with computers. i don't understand.
however i found this site. i was at miniwanca in the 1940's. i noticed there was a mention of the republican party and skeet shooting. both positive.
i also noted that you give your personal data.
i would prefer speech. You have to understand the old folks. my ex wife is from across the street from wu. did you ever see william danforth.s collection of shrunken heads and other things from new guinea?

Dave, I have not looked at your page in weeks -- and the sight of Declan was such a suprise. How much he has grown. And grown so adorable.
I like how his eyebrows can look like he is frowning even if he's not!
Glad to see you and Jen are having fun.
