Peter's birthday was on the third of July, so our family, along with Peter's friend Luke,
took a trip to our friends house in the country. We had a wonderful time hiking through
the woods, swimming in the pond, jumping on the trampoline, romping with our friends,
and shooting Peter's guns.
Peter watches Luke take a shot with his Mosin Nagant 1891/30 rifle.
Our gracious hostess, Catherine Clarke,
with her favorite piece of Classical Literature: Dr. Suess's Thidwick.

The birthday cake!

A bountiful feast!
My personal favorite...

Even Daddy had fun with the sparklers...

Hey Peter,
What kind of shells does the Mosin Nagant take?
Benjamin
Hey Benny,
this is Peter here, the shells are a 7.62 54R round. It is essentially a 30 caliber round. I hope it was helpful.
Have a great day.
Ben please forgive Peter for calling you Benny....he was only teasing you, because he knows how much you hate being called that....
