Last Saturday night Lars got invited to go to the Ducks Unlimited Banquet with my friend Aurora's husband Gio. He's not really a duck hunter, but he accepted anyway and was glad for the night out. I guess they just have a dinner, auction and sell raffle tickets and give out prizes etc...
To get raffle tickets for a lot of the drawings it was pretty pricey, but there was the "Wing Span" table, where for $10 you could go get as many tickets as your wingspan was long. Does that make sense? Well anyway we all know that Lars has about a 7 foot wingspan...(he has some LONG arms!)
Just a little proof...(those are gorilla arms he's standing next to!)
(Fun for this contest, but not for shopping....sleeves are never long enough!)Anyway he got a lot of tickets for his $10...and the guy that was measuring them out even threw in a couple extra at the end. But when he went to throw them in the bucket, he said there were already tons in there, so he figured he really had no chance of winning.

But when he went to throw them in the bucket, he said there were already tons in there, so he figured he really had no chance of winning.He didn't really want to stick around for the drawings, so he left his tickets with another friend that happened to be there and told him to call him if he won anything. So sure enough about 10:30 the the phone rings and it's his friend calling to tell him that the very last ticket on his string of tickets got drawn for a really nice Benelli shotgun! He looked it up on the internet and found it's worth about $500! Mr. Lucky... Way to go hun...you deserve it!
Oh and I'm glad your long arms finally paid off. (I mean more than the usual reaching things for me from across the room :)

Crap is going around.. and i can't believe you haven't said one thing to me about the NEWS!!!! you know what i am talking about. I was so excited, I am just so glad for her!!! cute post. Freak he could probly wrap his arms around you twice. :)
Adam and I had a good laugh at that picture - he's a big boy - bless you for bearing his children!
That's hilarious. Brady was shocked. He got invited last year with our neighbor and all he got was hit in the sternum with an insulated mug. They were throwing out prizes and they hit brady in the chest. He had a huge bruise there for a week. Way to go Lars. Brady said that gun is probably worth more than that. Good thing you have such long arms. You got about 2 ft more tickets than Brady could have.
