She did sob a bit at the end when she didn't think the mother was going to turn back from being a bear. <br /><br />As for archery, my 13yo DD is taking it this summer, thanks to the Hunger Games! And yes, now Sophie is running around the house pretending that she is shooting a bow and arrow too. But here in NH, I think she has to be 8 to take lessons!Two Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287174746506005845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-49688628802535913682012-07-15T22:21:21.399-07:002012-07-15T22:21:21.399-07:00Hmmm...I have 2 bars of the Milk Chocolate version...Hmmm...I have 2 bars of the Milk Chocolate version but the only dark chocolate one I bought I gave away.

The 8 year olds were not scared but the 6 and under ones were. Love the photos of your gorgeous kitchen in the background. Love the photos of the girls with their sparkling eyes - did you get a new lens too - do you mind sharing which lens you are using? Assuming you are not using a reflector?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-83816122958728738412012-07-15T19:27:50.617-07:002012-07-15T19:27:50.617-07:00I thought there were some seriously scary moments!...I thought there were some seriously scary moments! My sweet pea spent most of the movie between my lap and the floor, where she peeked through the seats in front of her. I wasn't sure what she'd say about it, but as we were walking out of the theatre, she said "Wow, Mom, that was such a great movie, wasn't it?" Too funny, now we have an archery set that we got at Bass Pro Shop" The arrows are really suction cups, and she loves shooting at a target she drew on our patio door with window markers!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098509969597608427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-7901764347003824902012-07-15T18:29:56.608-07:002012-07-15T18:29:56.608-07:00We just saw it yesterday and Eva age 4 was scared ...We just saw it yesterday and Eva age 4 was scared in a couple of parts and buried her head on my shoulder.

You inspired me to want to try the dark chocolate ones from your previous mention of them! I am a total milk chocolate loving person as well! I agree that hands down the DARK CHOCOLATE ones WON! Something about the way the dark chocolate and the sea salt blends! yum! I just have a hard time finding them in stock in any stores! I think they are becoming popular! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858188714807901478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-36191358645638347142012-07-15T17:44:00.723-07:002012-07-15T17:44:00.723-07:00We enjoyed brave.

Lessons that we schedule when they want seem to be more their style for now. There is a horse camp coming up that I would LOVE for them to do. We'll see what they think after riding lessons tomorrow.M3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13775708069296721624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-614993654698767362012-07-15T15:54:21.912-07:002012-07-15T15:54:21.912-07:00Love that you are having a great summer.

It was very well done. I laughed my butt off through the men/fighting scenes. Because the violence was with bears, I thought it was OK for kids, but I don't see Sara & Kelly putting it on their Xmas list.Indianalorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201403181378757132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11218937.post-26208887178109641632012-07-15T14:03:43.277-07:002012-07-15T14:03:43.277-07:00I took my 4 year old after my older son and daught...I took my 4 year old after my older son and daughter in law said it was not that scary.

Next year my son will be old enough to go to camp, but he has special needs so I have to decide by February to put applications in.
