Happy Easter, Happy Passover, Happy Ostara! I hope everyone is enjoying the return of spring, and the return of the sun’s warmth. I know I am. It’s happened, at last, Trinity doesn’t believe in the Easter Bunny anymore. She’s been on the fence for a few years. She thought if she stopped believing for sure that she’d stop getting a basket. When we assured her she’d still get some candy and stuff, she admitted her doubts. She’s still holding fast to Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy. We’ll see if they go quietly or with trauma.
Trin had expressed a desire to learn archery. The desire has survived the causal mention stage, so for Easter she got her first bow. She can’t shoot it today because we have to take her back to the shop next weekend to get fitted for arrows, but she has the bow and one arrow that is way too long for her. Jon and I had thought about archery, but neither of us had done it in about twenty years. But when Shawn and Kathy came down to visit Shawn demonstrated the upper body workout that he’d been experiencing from taking up archery himself. It was impressive, so that and Trin’s continuing interest in archery combined to get us into a store this weekend. Jon and I got fitted for bows, and arrows. We split a thing of arrows, and Wade cut them down to our respective sizes, mine being smaller than Jon’s. Trin’s are going to look very short in comparison. We’ve got wrist guards and finger protection for everyone. Next weekend we get her fitted for arrows, and we’ll begin a new hobby, as a family.
