Bowling and More

A week or so ago we had the chance to watch two of the Bawden kids. Sammy and Charlie had lots of sleepovers here at our house. The kids had a blast all together. They played fantastically and listened quite well. Leah and Mylo also had a great time with them. On Monday night (a week ago) we went bowling. We had never taken our kids bowling and it was not very easy with Milli around, but the older kids had a great time, so did Dave and I. This was way more fun than Wii Bowling, plus the night our was a nice treat for all of us. Bumpers went up and off they went. We all got beat by Charlie, who got a 94! I lost with a whopping 36! I have never bowled that poorly and I have never been beat by my kids, let a lone their friends... It was so fun to watch the kids be excited for each other when they would hit lots of pins at one time. Mylo's ball seemed to take forever to get to the pins, but it would still get there! Milli took a few turns as well and she loved it. Sammy and Leah got really good at throwing the ball with more speed as the night went on.

We really had a fun time with the Bawden boys. At church on Sunday, when we had them, I looked over at our full bench and the kids were surrounding Dave and it filled my heart with joy. I can only imagine what it will be like to have the bench full of our own kids. Kids are so wonderful and to see them be so kind to each other was wonderful. Leah and Mylo already want them to come have another sleep over.... we'll see about that.
