conulyShe's done it twice in the past two years, and she has been pushing to try it again. Happily, there's an archery range within walking distance of the house, and better yet, the bus on the corner stops, like, right there.
Eva was going to go too, but she decided she preferred to throw a sulky tantrum instead.
Ana wasn't that great at archery this time, because despite what she thinks it really was effectively her first time, but in maturity she's shown great growth - she acknowledged, when pressed, that she wasn't good at swimming or riding her bike the first time she tried those things, she admitted that she had fun anyway, and she agreed to give it a little longer before giving up in defeat. So we'll go back next week or the week after. Thankfully you pay by the session instead of buying a whole season of classes upfront!
