I recently wrote about Bass Pro Shop having a free Summer day camp of sorts for kids, and it’s all free. They’ve got tons of activities for the kids and even take pictures and give away free kids meals. It’s Saturdays and Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays through July 5th I believe. Anyway, there’s a new Bass Pro Shop near my parent’s house, and since my son was there last weekend when I learned about the event I called them up and told them about it. My step-dad was nice enough to take my son.

He called me as soon as they got back to tell me all about it. I knew before he even went that his favorite thing to do would be to shoot a bow and arrow. He’s been really into the bow and arrow thing for quite awhile and actually asked if he could take archery lessons this summer. I also promised him a bow and arrow, but I’ll save that for another post because I don’t feel like digging up the picture of the bow he’s getting right now. He’s excited about it, though. That’s for sure.

Also his great uncle has offered to take him hunting with him when he goes and offered to teach him how to hunt with his bow and arrow. I’m kind of worried about it, but I think that if the proper safety precautions are taken it should be fine.

He’ll have tons of practice this summer anyway, with spending time shooting the bow at both grandpa’s houses. There’s plenty of wide open space at both places for him to get some good shooting practice in.

Guess I better also invest in some kind of target. >_<
