Summer Bowling

A local place is running a promotion this summer that allows kids to bowl 2 games every day for free.  We met some of our friends there today to take advantage of the deal.  The kids had fun and I got to catch up with their mom.  Of course, both of us ended up helping with the bowling too.  

Joshua's 9th Birthday

Yesterday, we went to Joshua's 9th birthday party.  It was held at Times Square, which is a family fun center/bowling alley.  Lexi and Jordan were really excited to see his cake because Miss Amy, Joshua's mom, always makes the most creative ones.  She pulled off another winner with the one above.  The kids all had a blast.  They ate pizza and cake.  They bowled a game and a half.  They also got cards to go to the arcade.  

Lexi's favorite part was getting the high score in our lane.  Of course, she was competing against 1 older girl, Jordan, and Samuel (just turned 5).  The gutter guards helped too.  She still got a 78.  I saw that the adults in the lane to our left had similar scores.  Perhaps, they should have asked for gutter guards too.  

Twins' Birthday Party

Today, our friends that are twins had their 6th birthday party at a bowling/family/fun place. Lexi and Jordan haven't been bowling very much (other than our wii), so this was a real treat. Plus, we got to see our friends. Since school started, we haven't been able to do that very often. They go to an elementary school close to Lexi's.
