As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we were playing with Dad's bow on Memorial Day.
My sister was the only one to actually shoot it at a target.
Apparently this is what happens if your arm's in the way of the bow string:
And yes, it hurts as bad as it looks.
I think I'll stick with the guns.
One of my cousins is quite the adventurer. I've lost track of the cities, countries, and continents she's visited. She's always looking to try something new. At our last family reunion, we all took turns shooting a .22 rifle. This time? This time she wanted to try out my dad's bow. Before his surgery, my dad would pull back the bow 40 to 50 times a day. My cousin pulled it back about three inches. Dad helped her pull it back so she could get the feel of it.
Rather than hurt herself on the 'grown up' bow, she opted to use the one my dad got for my kids.
That's my girl practicing on the kid bow and my cousin and dad in the back ground.
Occasionally I look at all the things she's seen and done and wonder "What if?"
Most days I look around me and am pretty pleased with where I am.

It was a very good weekend. We saw plenty of family, ate a lot of wonderful food, and only had one emergency room visit.
Pictures coming shortly.
Hope you had a great weekend as well.

My newly minted seven year old son has a question and I need help with an answer:
Does God have a mother?
He has plenty of others, but I thought I'd start with an easy one. Heh.
