Bowling!

When Nate was home, he took the girls on a date by themselves. Abigail got to go clothes shopping for school and do her favorite things at the mall (getting pretzels and seeing "cats and dogs.) And Maddie got to go bowling. When Abigail found out that Maddie was going bowling, all she could talk about was how much she wanted to go too (neither of them had ever done it before.)

So, on Monday before Nate flew back, we had a crazy fun day! We met friends for lunch at Five Guys, had Cold Stone ice cream, then took the girls bowling and to see Shrek 4 (although they have only seen 1/2 of the first one!) :-) There are no pictures of the other events, but here is a snapshot of what it is like to bowl with Abigail and Maddie!

Being the independent chicas that they are, they wanted to carry their own bowling balls to the ramp, and after awhile would not let Nate and I help with any part of them bowling!. I worried about broken toes, but thankfully we escaped with no injuries! I think it's also worthy of mention, that I schooled EVERYONE on our first game!!! (however, my integrity makes me say that we used bumpers too - and on the second game (with no bumpers), not only did Nate win, but I came in at the same score as Maddie!) :-) LOL
