Rainbows and Butterflies

Today, I visited the docks for some fun in the sun. The canoers were having a blast paddling away and I caught up with a photography class that was taking pictures of the beautiful lakefront. Afterwards, I went down to the Nature Nook where the Farm and Garden class was learning

Today, I celebrated the good weather by making the rounds to as many different activities as I could. I dropped by the Advanced Archery class and watched as the talented archers shot for the moon…and sometimes landed among the grass. But I didn’t fault them for this, as the
