Bull's Eye

We finally had the archery party!  (See April 21 entry for background info.)

The archery place continues their streak of casualty free kid birthday parties.  Thirteen kids, plus a couple of younger siblings who got to try a little too, unofficially.  They had to sit on the bleachers and listen to about 20 minutes of military style instruction (including the booming authoritative voice that commanded obedience).  Then they got to get up and try the actual bows and arrows.  They had many rounds of shooting, and they lucked out because the pizza guy was late...so they actually got close to half an hour of extra time while we were waiting for the food to arrive.  True to rumor, we did get a Carvel cake with a bull's eye on it.  And the kids all got to keep the paper targets that they shot full of holes, plus a certificate for one free hour of shooting time in the future.

And no one played the role of William Tell!
