This week the kids are on Fall break and we’ve been blessed to be able to do a few things we don’t normally get to do. These were also things that the girls hadn’t ever done before. It’s been a really fun filled few days!

Dad lives down the road from a lake and it’s a bit sad to say, but we’ve never taken the girls to feed the ducks. We fixed that on Monday by taking popcorn and bread (and the girls, of course) to feed the ducks. The girls were a bit hesitant at first, but then got right into it. And the ducks got a great snack!

Wow, look at all our tickets!!!!

After feeding the ducks we took the girls to the local Family Fun Center. Pizza for lunch and lots of games. It didn’t take long for Reagan to learn to say, “Hey Granddaddy, I need more money.” I stopped counting how many times he went to the change machine for quarters. They had a really good time and it was fun to watch them taking everything in and getting so excited over the games.

First bowling trip!

Anthony’s cousins, Hope and Darren, had come over for a couple of days, and Anthony’s best friend Jake was here too. It was a full house, but so great to hear all the laughter!! Tuesday night we took everyone bowling, it was a first for the girls. I’m pretty sure everyone had a great time! We had two lanes, one for the big kids and one for Zale, the girls, and me. Zale had a great score and beat us, and Hope beat all the boys on their lane.

funny faces....they weren't interested in giving me real smiles, but this works too.

Yesterday the house seemed very quite after everyone went back to their own homes. It was such a pleasure to have all the kids here and they were so much fun to be around!! The girls especially loved spending time with Hope. Can’t wait til they can all come over again! What a wonderful Fall break!
