Busy Week of Firsts

We have been trying to keep busy this month.  My college volleyball coach came down to visit for a day (he is retired now and can do that!).  He recently wrote Daniel a story and wanted the chance to read it to him in person. This was the first time they all had the chance to meet and the kids just loved him right away.  I think Coach would have spent hours and hours reading stories just like this if he didn't need to be home for dinner!

 



The next day I took the kids to Monkey Joe's - just to get out of the house and burn off some energy.  This was the first time that Abigail was able to really play.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to keep up with Daniel because Abigail just wanted to go down the slides all day. She squealed and laughed and had a great time.

A couple days later, on Saturday night, we took the kids bowling for the first time.  The game lasted a bit too long for Daniel's interest and Kat's Mom took Abby home early to put her to bed, but over all I think it was a fun night.  Daniel tried bowling with and without the ramp (I was afraid the ball was going to stop when he bowled without the ramp, it was going so slowly!) and Abby had fun sliding down the ramp and cheering on her brother.

Bowling lesson.

 

 

Final score (I let Daniel bowl some of my frames too, he had a hard time waiting his turn).
