Our Busy Little World
Oct. 7, 2008 - Bows And Arrows
Matt's just finished building a fence in the backyard, and Isabelle is very excited that she can go out and practice archery by herself now. Her little "range" is in the perfect spot for me to watch her while I cook, and she and Hannah can take a few minutes to practice on their own. When Matt was showing Isabelle some archery tips, he made sure to caution her to keep her arrow aimed low, for the target, because if it went high up in the air it might come down and hurt someone. She sagely replied: "Yes, it shall soar down like a raven's wing . . . but it would be a good thing if it hit a burglar." Spoken like a knight's daughter, I suppose, but I'm glad she manages to keep it to the target! Here are a couple of pictures through the kitchen window - the cloak adds nicely to the elfin effect, I think.
