Bowling

We took the kids bowling and learned that our 4 year old is a MUCH better bowler than all of us, including her parents.  Elsie got 2 strikes and 2 spares, and that is without the ball hitting the guard rails!

I love that we were able to take our kids to something fairly active, while still in an air conditioned facility, especially when it is close to 100 degrees outside.  I remember walking thru a bowling alley when I was a kid, but wasn't able to stay and play due to all the smoke and alcohol, but now that California is smoke free, we are able to play these games!

We did  have the guard rails up, preventing any gutter balls and the kids would switch back and forth between throwing the ball and using the ball ramp.  Kya looks pretty excited here.

My very 1st throw of throw of day was a strike!

We will definitely be bowling again next summer!

Here Come's the Bride

Elise got to spend the night at my parents house by herself, for the 1st time a few weeks ago.  Here she is getting ready to sleep in my old trundle bed with one of my old baby dolls.

The next day, after riding bikes to the park and then playing in the pool, she asked to watch my wedding video and then dressed up in my wedding dress.

I must save this picture for her own wedding someday!

Here she is in my wedding dress, while watching me on my wedding video.  She will make a beautiful bride someday, even though she currently claims she is never leaving us to get married.  I will remind her of this one day!

We all have the same pose!

 I love how it looks like we are all looking at each other!
