Ezra has been begging for a bow and arrow for the past year. I have wanted to make his little dream come true, but where does one even get a bow and arrow? Especially for a 3 or 4 year old? Well, David and I had a little getaway this past weekend and our parents took care of the kids (thank you Coco, G. Steve, Mimi and Papa!). When we got back, we found that not only did Steve have a bow and arrow that wasn't too big, but he taught Ezra how to use it. I can't believe how fast Ezra caught on. Here are some pictures from this morning (he is still wearing his spiderman pajama shorts because it was actually very early this morning and basically all he wanted to do as soon as he woke up was practice with the bow and arrow).
The next three pictures are of his glee when he found that he shot it through the lattice at the top of the door (he is only allowed to shoot at the door so it was very exciting for him to have somehow got it "through" the door).

Oh, the glee! Ezra is so wonderful. I cannot believe his little taut legs and bum. He is so muscular! So cute!
This is awesome. I wonder if your dad remembers his first bow and arrow. The bow was red just like this one. Need I add that I enjoyed it too? Ezra looks like a pro and I love the fact that he already has Eli playing fetch. Trusting there's only one arrow, kow what I mean?
Wow, I just took another look and Doug didn't have a bow like that. Holy moly, Grampa Steve bought a compound bow. Dang fancy for a "starter". Way to go Grampa.
Hmmm, I wish I even knew what that was Jean! I will have to ask Steve. All I know is that he put a bunch of duct tape around the end of it to blunt it.
I have to clear up my last comment. I get confused about which is the bow and which is the arrow. I was talking about the arrow and thinking it was called a "bow". I don't know how I was a valedictorian.
