All but one of the men in the Crosland family took a weekend to go to this gun training class in Nevada

Ben did a little of this in class

a little eating out

and a lot of shooting!

He even got to shoot a machine gun.

(I kinda think that would be cool.)

 Ben wasn't there on the last day, testing day, to see his dad get his elite status!

 Cody tested out his skill all weekend too:) 

Beach Cave

While Ben is off on an adventure, we went on one too.

Trekking down to Thousand Steps

 Down This...

 At the bottom looking up...

 Off to the side is this...

And over off in the distance to the other side is this...

It's a cave over there-

It can only be accessed at low tide

It wasn't so hard getting to it

but it did have some tricky and some slippery places

This face is saying stop taking pictures and get me.

I basically just hoisted Mackayla everywhere.

But it was totally worth it.

Once through the cave it comes out to a little pool that waves splash over and fill

Exploring

This tower is hiding on the other side of the cave

(Mackayla got roughed up earlier this week at workout class with the workout ball-right on her nose. Blood everywhere.)

One of the reasons I love this beach is it's character.

I love the funky stair ways

 Trekking back up 

Until next time

Thankful

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.

If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something.

It gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

 Be thankful for your limitations.

Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge.

Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary.

Because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things. 

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles

and they can become your blessings.
