Yesterday, after horse back riding, we walked around Jackson Hole with our friends the Policellis.
We stumbled across "the new west knife works", CAUTION EXTREMELY SHARP. We walked in and the two friendly workers let us try anything from the handcrafted double-headed axes, to switch blade stilettos (a thin bladed knife). As we poked around the guys working the place brought out 3 tomahawks and a bunch of throwing knives. they encouraged us to try them in the alley adjacent to the shop. Naturally, we accepted their generous offer. In the alley, they had set up a massive tree trunk to throw at. We tried the tomahawks first and LOVED them. Anna tried the throwing knives and will and I went with both. As we tried out our new talents, the guy watching us told us to not kill each other and walked in to the shop, leaving a 7,8,10, and a 13 year old, throwing weapons in an alley. It was so much fun, no waiver to sign, just the Wyoming way of, you hurt yourself doing something dumb, its not our fault. I liked that policy quite a bit. Of course we loved throwing so much, Will and I each bought a "hawk" and shipped it home. Where else but Jackson Hole, Wyoming could kids have as much fun as that?
