Mission Viejo and Shooting Guns

So its another Sunday in sunny So Cal and i cant say I'm missing the weather back home at all!!
Had a full day yesterday from dawn to dusk, starting with shooting in the morning and a trip down to Mission Viejo, in the heart of Orange County.
The shooting had been set up by Evan and we drove up into the Californian hills in Azuza Canyon for some good ol' hick fun, shooting some dang guns!! Now its strange to think that these canyons surrounding the So Cal area have such contrasts in weather. In the winter, your able to ski around these mountainous areas, yet in the summer, they are hotter than the sun!!
So we headed up there nice and early and hit up the range equipped for assault rifles etc. So i cant remember exactly what i shot, but i remember, and so does my arm that one of them kicks like a Donkey on steds!!
Jon and Kim picked me up in Glendora and we headed down to Mission Viejo for Kim's sisters 21st birthday. Mission Viejo is definitely worth a shout if your down in that area because it's stunning. The amount of trees and colourful flowers is spectacular and the views were fantastic from Kim's families home.
So we got down there at around 2pm and after meeting some of the family and a quick dip in the pool, more people started to arrive for the birthday celebrations. Got to meet many of Kim's relatives which was really nice, they all were really accommodating and full of questions and interest in what i was doing out here for the summer. Food was really good too!! which Jon willingly helped prepare on the grill. So on arrival back in my cove i fell asleep pretty much instantly!!
