Day with Nephew
« on: September 07, 2017, 08:09:00 AM »
I was privileged to take my nephew out of "day care" the other day. Figured I would share some photos of the day. we went horseback riding too but I didn't get a picture due to holding his horse.

First we spent a couple hours testing out the canoe.

 

Then we tested out Durability of balloons. Turns out they do not stand up to arrows.

 

Then after the Balloons were gone, We moved indoors to test out the new archery range I built. We still need to run electricity out to it but it works well during the day. We can get 19 yards, If I move an old light fixture I can get 22 yards.

 

 

still working on that elbow lol

 
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Way to guide the young man Charlie.

The pics inside the barn bring back some great childhood memories.
