Archery Isn't Just for Jared Anymore

Amber and Titus needed something to do.  With Jared's blessing, I suggested they give archery a try.  So back on October 25th Amber and Titus had their first private archery lesson.  They both did amazing, they took too it rather naturally, so they started group classes right away.

They had no trouble shooting enough points to earn their first JOAD pins during November group classes.

December was the same, they scored 185/210 respectively more than enough for their second JOAD pins.

With two pins under their belts we went ahead and got them their own gear.  It's really neat having three of kids in the same sport.  I love archery because it is such a peaceful sport to watch and oh it also involves numbers and I love numbers.

Christmas Visitation

It was on the calendar as simply "Asheboro Pickup" for weeks. The kids (Titus in particular) kept trying to get more clarity about the calendar entry but Chris and I successful kept the secret.  When we were heading out the door and someone started to panic about being late and I said "they can't start without us" and the kids were officially confused.

On our way we saw an incredible Christmas light display in the middle of no where, which was a fun treat.  Chris used the opportunity to joke "That's it, let's go home".

When we got to our destination, Lance immediately sighted Grandma Elaine in the lobby, the rest of the kids piled out after him with joyous exclamations.  Then we all piled into the car to go eat some dinner.

I had found a place it eat in downtown called "Cantina Taco Loco", it had a little something for everyone.  It was a bit small, so they took Chris' number till they had a table for a group our size.  We spent the time catching up and window shopping (It's a cute downtown).

At the table Grandma interviewed the kids about all that was going on in their lives, while we enjoyed a really nice meal.

After dinner we walked around looking at lights a bit, it was a beautiful night but eventually had to head back.  Everyone was sorry to part but also thankful for having the time together.
