Basketball, Bows and Arrows
Basketball, Bows and Arrows
Thursday, December 30, 2021
Ava has been missing playing basketball on a daily basis like she does in Singapore. Kathy mentioned that one of the people on her street was giving a basketball hoop away so Chris and Eric managed to get it into Eric’s truck and bring it over. We bought Ava a basketball so she could play bit it still wasn’t easy to play because there was so much snow on the ground. Ava and I tried to shovel away the snow but it still was a bit slippery.
Another thing that Ava was very excited to do while we were back in Canada was archery. Maybe it was the new Hawkeye Disney+ series or maybe it was something else. But we went out a number of times to shoot arrows. Ava even got some arrows for Christmas because the plastic vanes on my old arrows were disintegrating. She really improved with practice! At the beginning she had trouble pulling the 28 pound draw string on the bow all the way back, but as she practiced she was able to do it and her consistency improved.
