The Boy takes a bow

The Boy let us sleep in this morning, but only up to a point.  Fair enough - he had a birthday to celebrate.  So up we got, and there was breakfast, and a first few presents opened.

His Grandma and Grandpa skyped mid-morning and were able to watch him unwrap their gift to him - a bow and arrows!  In the afternoon he had a good time trying out the new kit at the archery range.

We also celebrated with lunch out at a favourite local eatery, a few more gifts throughout the day, a cake with candles, and a family movie night. 

Heavens, eleven.  He was five when we moved out here, and that seems like only yesterday.
