Outdoor day

Fun day, we went to the Az fish & game event north of the city. It was a huge outdoor expo with booths of vendors and activities. It was so large they had buses & stops throughout the various parts of the event. There were horses, cowboys, hunting & fishing stuff, boats, ATV's. Can't even think of all the neat stuff we saw. What was unique was this site is a firing range and they had all kinds of live firing opportunities. Most firearm manufacturers had booths and you could test fire many of their handguns or long guns. There were archery ranges where you could shoot at decoy type targets. There was a huge tank, where about 50 kids at a time could catch fish. This was one of the great aspects of the event, it was really family oriented. All day long you could hear the constant pop pop pop of firearms discharging either at the demo areas or at shooting events. Texas has nothing on Arizona, you could see people in the crowd wearing holsters with sidearms in them. Lots of booths to get food and drinks. We had curly fries and catfish/shrimp for lunch. For $6 you got more curly fries than one person could eat. There was this cute little boy playing in a mud puddle, I can only imagine what his mother thought when she saw him - LOL! Finished the day off back at the park with cocktail hour with the neighbours, they are pulling out tomorrow.
