Summer Fun

Continuing to enjoy our lazy days of summer, the kids and I had a full day of activities today.  We started by bowling in the morning and finished with a swim in the pool.

Great form

Cooper picking out just the right ball

 watching his ball roll down the lane

 she had so much fun today

 Cooper looks like he's running with a basketball instead of a bowling ball!

 sibling shot

 doesn't it look like he's about to dribble the ball?

 Cooper was the ball distributor today

Free Bowl

The weather has been so warm hot lately, so the kids and I decided to take advantage of the AMF Summer Kids Program.  When you sign up, each kid can bowl 2 free games per day, you only have to pay shoe rental.  Sign us up!!!

Christmas Camp ~ Bowling Day

In my quest to keep up with the kids' energy level while they're on Christmas break, we met up with our friends today and had lunch at Old McDonald's and then headed to the bowling alley for some fun!
