A Fun Family Night!

Eric has a busy work week and is working Monday-Saturday. To sort of make up for it, his boss let him take a couple hours off on Monday afternoon. We decided to take advantage of some extra time together and go have some fun! We had promised the kids back in December when we finished reading 1st Nephi that we would take them bowling to celebrate. We were glad to finally get to keep our promise. So, we headed up to Cougar Lanes at BYU and had a fun afternoon together! Before Adam was out of school, Eric took Tessa on a Daddy/Daughter date to Nickel Mania (Tessa's favorite place to go with Daddy). They said they had a fun time together-even though they didn't get any jackpots. 
 These kids took the game pretty seriously! 


 I loved watching Tessa! She was elated to get the very first strike!

 Tess practiced her gymnastics on their bowling ramp. 



 Gwen was our score keeper for the first little bit, but then she got bored and was not happy about being there. 


 The swirly chairs finally made her happy. 
Mommy ended up stealing the win from Tessa. We decided to go grab some hamburgers at Red Robin for dinner after we finished bowling. The kids were so well behaved and so polite. I was very proud of them. Gwen had us all laughing through dinner cause she just danced her little heart out to the music playing in the restaurant. She loves the song, "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction and when she heard it, she  was dancing like crazy! She already loves her Boy Bands.
It was nice to spend some time together and have some fun!
