We had a fun time with the two oldest grandsons and they spent almost a whole week with us. It’s a sweet way of getting to know them and to slow down and have fun. I also wanted to give Jen and Dave a break. My parent instinct was telling me to demand strict obedience to our rules but the grandparent instinct told me to keep it light and indulge them in ways mom and dad don’t, by staying up later, more tv and wii, and doing things outside with the dogs and horse.

We had a great time at the bowling alley on Fort Hood.

James is an exceptionally good bowler on the Nintendo Wii–I’m serious!! He can pick up spares like a pro! I think he found that real bowling is a lot harder. I’ll tell you one thing for sure, for what this bowling adventure cost us, we could have bought a brand-new Nintendo game. I can’t remember the last time I was at a bowling alley and I didn’t know it was so expensive. It must cost a fortune to bowl in a league!  But I’m off the subject here. We had a great time and will most likely do it again!!

Looks like James will pick up this spare!

Even Sammie was getting sleepy!

Lowell mastered the big squirt gun!

We look forward to having the boys again, they are lots of fun!
