Each year the Indiana Department of Natural Resources puts on the Hoosier Outdoor Experience where anyone can try out all sorts of outdoorsy activities. Since this was our first year, we dabbled in a bit of everything. It was so much fun and we plan on making this an annual event! (Here's the website if you wanna join us next year! http://www.in.gov/dnr/5009.htm)

| Alex and Andrew shooting these awesome injury-proof bow and arrows. |
 |
| OK, this is me in all my pre-historic glory throwing an Atlatl, which is a weapon ancient people used for hunting mastadon. Step back. I'm awesome at the atlatl. |
 |
| Nick will tell you he was also awesome at the atlatl but he would be wrong. And since I'm writing this blog, you will have to trust me. :) |
 |
| Here's Alex all helmeted in preparation for the rope course. That was a whopping 2 feet off the ground. A helmet? Really? |
 |
| Alex on the super-dangerous ropes course. Of course it takes two grown men to supervise this life-threatening activity. |
 |
| Alex with a real cowboy learning to rope cattle. |
 |
| Andrew was convinced he was the real cowboy. |
 |
| The boys in a rope battle. Whoever pulled the other off the black box won. For once, Andrew did not dominate in the freakishly strong category. |
 |
| My boys on a horse-drawn hayride through the autumn woods. Lovely. (P.S. It had been raining intermittently that morning which is why Nick has an umbrella. He's not pretending to be British.) |
