Jeannie's dream of becoming Katniss, from the Hunger Games, took another step yesterday.
Groupon was offering a deal at a local Archery School, so Brett and I bought sessions and got one for Jeannie as well.
Jeannie was really excited and nervous.
A few months ago, she made a list of things she wanted to do (not a bucket list, mind you, but a Lady's List of Future Accomplishments). On the list was "Shoot a Bow and Arrow". She got the idea after we watched an episode of the Australian version of The Amazing Race. After she read the Hunger Games trilogy, she was even more determined to do it.
We had a really good time.
We even got to shoot balloons off the target.
Jeannie was the first one of us to hit a bulls-eye and she hit it frequently.
Brett was not happy with this older lady.
She always shot more arrows than everyone and took forever to shoot each one. Brett was not pleased.
It was a lot of fun and after it was over, we each said we want to come back and do it again.
Next time we do it, we'll do it in honor of District 12!

That last pic is an especially good shot of you three. You should find some way to use it.
Archery is challenging and fun. I actually took a PE class in college, Badminton & Archery. Badminton is also more challenging and competitive than you'd think from just playing it on the lawn when you're a kid.
