Hand Carved Bows

I don't remember my mother having to make us go outside in the summertime. Of course, it wasn't 95 degrees in the shade in Vermont, either! On this day, I sent John outside to play and he got creative whittling a bow from an actual branch.

Then he carved one for the little guy who strung it himself with yarn.  Do not look at the knives in this picture, very scary! I don't think I noticed these when I took the picture!

I loved seeing this activity and this bow is still working weeks later. Now that's what Moms are looking for from their kids in the summertime!
