Archery camp went very well this year. The children learned how to shoot a bow and arrow properly and all would love to take more classes and set up an archery range in the back yard. It was fun watching them improve over the week.
Adrian struggled at first. He was the youngest in class, and the bows were not right for him. His instructor brought in the bows and arrows he had made when his children where younger for Adrian to use. Adrian improved immensely with them. He also loved that he had special wooden arrows that were shorter and no one else could use them.
The last day of camp was just for fun and games. The children got to shoot at targets, pop balloons, shoot arrows into the air trying to “storm a castle” and other fun activities. The class was over way to quickly.
Their instructor was excellent. On the last two days he brought a very small bow and arrow set. He had noticed Megan watching the kids and realized that she wanted to try too. So, after asking me, he asked Megan if she wanted to try. He helped her very little, and she was still able to hit the target most of the time.
The older kids are taking an archery camp this week. While they have class, Megan and I get to enjoy Momma time. We have taken walks in the rain, walked through the woods looking for animals, and played in the flowers and on the play ground. Megan gets to say what we do and she choses different things every day. She always wants to head to the kids early though so we can watch them for awhile.
Since Sickie was feeling slightly better, we decided to go exploring a little before heading home from Missouri.
Audrey is raising butterflies again this year. She has Monarchs, Eastern Black Swallowtails, and
