It's all fun and games until someone gets their eye shot out.


That didn't really happen, but it made ya look didn't it?  

If you move down like 2 whole posts below, you will see that we had gotten Faith a bow for her 12th birthday.  That was almost a year and a half ago, but I digress.  She had fun playing with it, and would head out to shoot every now and then.  We found out about a little archery club that the kids would participate in, FREE OF CHARGE  mind you, and all they have to do is show up and shoot stuff.  All three girls could participate too which I thought was going to royally peeve off Faith as archery is ONLY her thing, but she thought it would be fun for all of them to do the activity together. Sunday was their first day and the little two LOVED it.  Mae EVEN hit the yellow on the target a couple times. Mind you, it was not the target she was supposed to be aiming for, but really...I mean who cares.  Just look at how cute she looks in her lil leg warmers and hoodie listening so intently:)

Cutest archeress ever in her leg warrmers:)













Faith was a little spicy due to the fact that it had been like 6-7  months since she had even shot her bow and of course it was EVERYONE ELSE's fault she was doing so poorly, even at one point I think blaming the dog for breaking her concentration the last time she went out to shoot 6 months before. This went on for about 45 minutes until one of the instructors gave her some pointers on her stance and lined her up better and then she proceeded to hit the yellow almost exactly in the same spot every time.  Then it was fun.

Looking forward to next week!
