The Archer

Ethan has been fascinated with weapons from the time he was very little. He is always trying to create his own simple weapons. Lately he has been making his own bow and arrow. He has found little sticks and strings here and there around the yard and house to make his bow and arrow. The other day when he was trying it out, he came in to me, disappointed that his arrow split down the middle. He went through this whole explanation of what happened and how it split. He was pretty serious about the situation.

While we were away on our trip to my parents' house, Ryan had the opportunity to get an adult size bow. This just excited Ethan even more. Ethan was even more thrilled when Ryan bought a sight for the bow that Ethan got for Christmas a few years ago.

It was fun to watch Ryan and Ethan in the backyard trying to sight-in Ethan's bow.

Ethan dreams of being able to hunt food for his family. He is really hoping to catch a squirrel in the next few weeks and have smoked squirrel for dinner. :-) I just love that kid!
