Please Don't Take Down A Bird, Little Robin Hood's...

Today we were home much of the day which was nice. We finally had a chance to take the kids out to practice with their bow and arrows. 
I was taught archery in middle school but you would not have guessed it by watching me today. Luckily, Jeff was at least able to shoot straight. 
The kids loved this. Really loved this. We joked that if Fieldin had a diaper he would look like cupid. In true Fieldin form, he was shooting like he has been doing this his whole life. Greta did great and had to learn to use a more advanced bow because she is taller. She was really shooting once she got the bow down and it was hard on the fingers, trust me. We joked that we may have hurt a few rocks... luckily nothing else. Even with the dull kid proof arrows I was nervous in my own helicopter mom way. 

 The little man. It shouldn't have surprised me how much he liked this. 
 Toward the end, they were shooting at the same time. It was cute. 
 Greta really liked this too. She didn't even want to head home for dinner! *gasp* She never says no to 
food especially when she is growing which she is AGAIN! at least according to the growth chart we have marked on the wall... 
 I loved watching him be so careful and patient while he set up. 

Good job guys. They asked to practice again tomorrow. Watch out birds, don't fly too low.
