This week we decided our family needed a family night. We needed to get out and do something fun. We decided to find a bowiling alley. It was really nice and we had a blast. Jonathan and I didn't have the best scores, but it's ok :) Lauren had fun watching.
Benjamin did a great job. He has always enjoyed bowling and this time was no different. We went to McDonald's afterwards and got the kids happy meals. When we got out of the van, Benjamin was so excited and came running over to me and exclaimed, "Did you know this was going to be such a fun trip for all the kids?" Well, yes I did know, but I'm glad I got to see the excitement over getting a happy meal :)
And Katherine, well it doesn't take much to make her happy. She enjoyed the bowiling as well and even did fairly well herself (with a little help from bumper lanes and the "ramp" she used).
The other piece of excitement that we had was "snakes". It rained several times this week and each time the walkways were covered with worms. Katherine thought they were snakes and they were "scary", but as you see above, she got over it eventually. They were fascinated by all of them, and it took twice as long to go anywhere because they had to look at each one.
Regan was a little more adventurous and picked one up. I have never heard so much laughter over a worm.
I think this is a funny picture. One of the kids left the fridge door open and Lauren just helped herself. I was quite amused.
This is all for this week. We have a busy week next week, including a trip to Washingtin D.C. We are very excited about all the things to come. We can tell you more in an email sometime!
