At the Hoosier Outdoor Experience, sponsored by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (the fishing folks), the girlies indeed had lots of new and precious outdoor experiences:
Bow Hunting
Pony Rides
Shotgun
Motorcycle (see the training wheels?)
Fishing
Bow Fishing
Handmade Instruments and Wood Chip Necklaces
New experiences. Precious memories. And a free coloring book!
I am a BIG fan of the Indiana DNR now. I know all the events are designed to get us to like the activities enough to buy DNR permits to do them, but they're also terrific fun and really genuinely educational, and all the volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable and made the girls feel actual ownership of their experiences. I swear, Willow sleeps with her used shotgun shells under her pillow now, next to her spare Nancy Drew novel.

This looks like a blast! My dad used to take my brother and me to something like that when we were young. I loved it.
