Bowling

Every year while Paul's grandma and grandpa are up from Arizona, the family gets together for an afternoon of bowling. This usually happens in August around grandpa's birthday (and will again this year), however, we had to squeeze in an extra evening of bowling this year during the brief leave one of the brother's had from the army (they are preparing to head to Iraq). If was a fun evening for all of us, for the kids and adults alike!
Of course bowling has to include some yummy food! I think Ava would agree!

Lawrence was just a happy kid!




Tim (on right) was in Iraq a little over a year ago, Jay (left) will soon be headed there. So the evening included looking at a map of Iraq.
By the end of the evening some of us were quite content just to watch all the action.

And, well, this last picture is for the brothers-in-law! I just couldn't resist throwing this picture in as well! Thanks, Jay, for planning the evening. It was lots of fun!
