Who would have thought that our Easter would turn out to be so perfect but in a very unexpected way! My father is famous for buying my son, Austin, somewhat inappropriate gifts- usually they are borderline dangerous. This year was no exception as after Easter Mass he presented my five year old son with his gift- a working bow and arrow! Over lunch I was teasing my dad about his gift choice- “So, is his mace on back order?” (for those of you who may not know what this particular weapon is I encourage you to google it). He just laughed. That afternoon we headed to my brother’s house in the country for Easter dinner and an afternoon hike- of course the boys (large and small) had to pull out the bow and arrow set. After a lot of hesitation on my part we all took turns with it and ended up having an extremely enjoyable afternoon. Just before dinner Austin can into the house from the garage- his Papa and Uncle in tow- all with very large smiles on their faces. Austin came in and said, “Look what I found!” as he held up a medieval MACE!! I could not believe it (really who just has one of these in their garage). Everyone thought it was very funny and a great end to a perfect Easter Sunday.
