Strike!

Part of our end-of-summer tradition is filling up our last week with fun things that we don't get to do every day.  It's fun to end the summer with a bang and it saves us from the end of summer sibling rivalry that just happens from them being side by side for 3 very very very long months.  Part of me thinks it's flown by, but part of me feels like they've been out of school forever.  I'm ready for them to be back in a routine and for me to be back in a routine and have time away from my sweet munchkins :)  I love them, but a little time away does the body good!

So, we started out our last week of summer with a trip to The Alley for some bowling.  Last time we went down there, Hillsborough Street was wide open because there was no school in session at NC State, not even summer school.  It was easy-breezy to drive in, find a parking place, and be done.  This time was a little more challenging, but we managed.  Once we got there we realized they were teaching bowling that morning to a bunch of freshmen (presumably freshman anyway).  It was pretty entertaining, but we had our hands full with these three boys (and two little siblings).

These three boys managed to get three different Kindergarten teachers.  I'm 100% certain that was not an accident!

This little princess loves her bowling shoes and her gumballs.  She also loves getting more spares than all the boys combined!

This little dude was not feeling it, or maybe he just wasn't feeling the picture.  Yeah, probably more like it!

Dad and son combo... still equaled quite a few gutter balls (yes, even with the ramp and bumpers!)  In their defense, the lane was insanely lopsided!

Love these two!
