Yep, that is a bull whip and watch out he knows how to use it. It sure does make a load pop!

He also makes them by hand!!

Hard Lee had to try the bull whip also and we have to say he was pretty good.

We had a wonderul time last weekend meeting and visiting with Elder Rae's family. As he prepared to go home after he served a wonderful 2 year mission for our church, his family flew up here to pick him up and stayed with us overnight. We had a great time visiting and hearing about their home state, Florida. We do miss the weather down there.
Elder Rae has been a terrific missionary and friend to our family. We will miss him as he travels home to continue his studies. His parents and sister, Tiffany,were up here for the weekend and we look forward to continuing the friendship we built. Congratulations on a serving an awesome mission Elder Rae!!! We pray everyday that our children will follow your example.
