Narrative Essay On Shooting Guns

Woohoo! What is better than spending the first part of your day shooting guns and then going out on the lake the rest of it? Well this summer that is exactly what I did and that is what makes it one of my most memorable days lately on our vacation to Tennessee. I expected it to be a bit boring considering it was my first vacation with my one and a half year old son. Instead I got to shoot guns while he slept hitting nearly all of the targets.

After that I crawled in and got off to a good start, but if you’ve ever been kayaking you would know it’s a bit trickier to balance and paddle too. I did my best though and enjoyed it to end my
