The Tales of The Metropolitan Redneck Sisters Part 2-EASTER

Easter was upon us and it was a reminder that I only had two weekends left with my sister, Katy, before she moved back to New York.  Since, this was going to be our last holiday with her and, her man, Kevin being California residents, we decided we were going to make it one to remember.   I decorated the trailer with bunnies, baskets, sparkly eggs and chicks.  We bought fancy Easter outfits at the same store we picked up the Easter egg coloring kits and cat liter.  We were making plans for the egg hunt when  Katy said, "You know, I really love throwing eggs, I wish we could throw them instead of find them." 
"Okay." I said.
"What do you mean?"
"Let's chuck them.  Why not?  Let's have an Easter egg chuck instead of a hunt.:" 
Katy looked like I had told her that I was giving her a new car on Easter.
The prime rib was roasting in the oven as our guests arrived. We poured the whiskey and beer and drank as we colored  the eggs. The spirit of  Easter buzzed  inside of us as we went about setting up "The Most Amazing Ultimate BB Gun Shooting Obstacle Course on Earth."  Pink plastic flamingos, beer cans, eggs, dog toys, avocados and such were positioned or hung about the yard as targets.  The course was designed to be shot at in a specific order.  You would get two shots per target and if you missed you were aloud to call on three life lines which were: 1) You could get closer to your target. 2) You could get one more hail Mary shot. 3)  You could call up a redneck and ask them for some strategy suggestions. 
Easter at the Trailer

 We blew the place apart. 

The Carnage

When there was nothing left to shoot Katy and I grabbed the last carton of eggs and set out to make her dreams finally come true. 

Opening Pitch

We pelted the forest like high schoolers on Halloween.  Yolk slid  like snot down the tree trunks as we double high fived each other. 
Out of eggs and ammo, we all squeezed into the trailer and ate dinner until we couldn't move. Then we ate dessert until we felt like we were going to die.  I decided to put on a chick flick for us all to enjoy and that's when everyone decided to go home.
I don't know who won the "The Most Amazing Ultimate BB Gun Shooting Obstacle Course on Earth" competition that day but, it wasn't about winning.  No.  You can ask anyone of us that day...it was about the celebration of Easter...and it was about the celebration about  family.

  5. Every good story deserves a theme song and I have created one thanks to google. Yes I have gone mad and deserve to be shot between the eyes with the BB gun at close range.
