With all of our grandchildren and most of our children, we went to the
bowling alley for a family outing.
A good opportunity to get a picture of all our grandchildren.

On Christmaseve I joined the anual shepherds-walk in Woensdrecht,
that plays the biblical story of the birth of Jesus.
It started at the church in Woensdrecht. After an hour and a half walk
with a lot of music and theater, it ended at "the stable where Jesus was
born".

Once a year, at the end of the season, we have a 'Christmass shooting
evening' at our shooting club. That was yesterday.
At the Christmass shooting evening we shoot with bow and arrow, we shoot
with a revolver on a fantasy target, one of our clubmembers made a 'clay
pigeon christmass tree' to shoot clay pigeon with a rifle and we shoot
at golfballs. It is a competition and everybody gets a price.
We had a fun evening and I won eighth prize, a 'revolver coffe mug'.

This year I attended the APS DSR competition, a dynamic shooting
competitions with pistol and rifle. I shoot in the bolt-action
class and ended on fourth place in the competition.
Today was the Dutch Championship match at the shooting range of
shootingclub "De Vrijheid" in Heemskerk. Only the top few shooters
from each class were invited and because I was in fourth place, I
was invited too.
At the clubhouse of SV De Vrijheid
The roads were slippery this morning so I left home early to be in
time for the shooting match.
I had a good day, enjoyed myself very much and ended here also in
fourth place in my class.
