What a weekend

Every week I have plans for what is happening at the weekend, whether they are plans to clean my house, or plans to party I know what I am going to do.

This past weekend was no different.

What I didn't know was how much fun I was going to have.

I was helping out with the Vikings, taking "Have A Go Archery".

Basically I spent the weekend with bows and arrows and taught kids, adults and everyone in b etween how to shoot a target.

And I rocked at it.

I had little tiny kids who could barely hold the bow, I had grown woman who had tried before and couldn't be taught how to do it, I had teenage boys who thought they knew better than I did.  But every single one that came to me left with a smile on their face after hitting the target at least once.

I got soaked through when it rained and I got sunburnt when it was hot.

This was part of my do something to change someone's life challenge I set myself.

I taught people something.  I gave kids (and adults) a great experience trying something new.  I made people smile.

It was GREAT :-)
