Hunting & Fishing Day

Today was National Hunting and Fishing Day at the World Of Energy!  Although it was raining, we packed up and went anyway.  Glad we did as most people waited and the lines were not busy for us!
 Zachary's favorite part was Kayaking on his own!  He did great!
 The boys also participated in some Camo Games with other kids.  Each person dressed in camo and hid in a roped off area.  William found a great spot where no one could find him...
Can you find him...
 Zachary did a great job too.  Not only did he wear camo but he cover himself in real leaves too!
There were exhibits on boating safety and fire safety.  The boys got to use a water hose to spray out a fire!
 Then, Zachary took his turn at shooting a BB gun.  Now, Zachary has never shot a gun but he learned very quickly.  Although only 2 hit his target, he had a lot of fun!
 On to Archery...
 I did not think Will could do it so I had told him no.  Then, someone said, we have a little bow for him to try.  And guess what...he shot a Bullseye!
 When he shot the Bullseye, he turned around to us and said "You did not know I could do that!"  He may be little but that does not stop him from keeping up with the big kids!
They had a lot more exhibits for the kids including petting goats, rabbits & a snake, touching different furs of animals, butterfly garden, fly fishing, lake fishing, camping tents, hunting trails and so much more.  And we all enjoyed a hotdog lunch.

Opening Night at Denver Downs

Tonight, the boys and I went to Denver Downs in Anderson for opening night.  Boy, did we have fun. So much to do...we were there three hours!  And could have stayed longer if the sun had not gone down!  We started off in the corn boxes...
 Then, fed the goats, pig, sheep and cow...
 Will, who has no fear, went to the Zip Line...over and over again....
 Zach loved the Zip Line too...
 There was hay everywhere...to jump on, land on, fall in, climb on, whatever you desired...
 Of course, Will and Zach always found a way to the top...
 And of course, Will had no fear jumping into the hay pits!
 We went on a hay ride to see the donkeys and cows.  Then, stopped at the Pumpkin Patch to pick some pumpkins.  Since it was opening night, the patch was in great condition!
 And off to the corn maze...and Zach was carrying the map!  Did not take us long to get lost!  We went ahead and found out way out before it got dark!
There was so much more than we took pictures of...a huge jumping pillow, air guns, football throws, sling shots, cow train ride, mini mazes, and so much more!!  Well worth the $12 each entry fee!

First Soccer Game of Season!

The boys started Soccer tonight and both played really well.  Zachary has played for several seasons but this was Will's first time..
Zachary played really well too...and scored two goals!  Yipee!
 Will is the youngest and the smallest on his team but that did not bother him...
Will scored two goals too!
 Zachary's coach is very strict but Zachary is able to listen to the structure better!!
 Both won their games!!
