Bowling and Swimming

Can you tell I have had cabin fever this week? :) Just been staying very busy each day to keep me a bit more sane having the kids all day myself.

Thursday we enjoyed meeting up with Rebecca, Kaitlyn and Hailey for free bowling. Rebecca sent me this info a month or two ago as an indoor idea. Kids bowl free. All it cost was under $3 for Lor's bowling shoes. When the kids are a bit older I can see this being a weekly event! The older girls had a complete ball. Both little ones enjoyed their turns, just hard to sit and wait, so one game was plenty (you actually get two for free). We enjoyed lunch and an ice cream treat at Braums afterwards.














Friday we drove to a Sunday School teacher get together. To explain that one, I'm teaching SS about once a month. They rotate the teachers out so they don't have to do it every Sunday. This is a last attempt to get involved and do something with our church, as we are disappointed we know very few people after being there over a year.







Anyway, the lady in charge offered up a get-together at her community pool so we were excited to go and get to get to know some more people from our church. It was a small turn out, but even one new friend is good! :) And wow what a pool! Sand around it and HUGE. The kids loved it. Makin just loves the pools that have a gradual entrance so he can touch. He keeps getting braver and braver and wanted to stay around where the water was nearly to his chin. Then he kept throwing the football out deeper for us to go get it.

I have also kept extra busy to not be too bummed we are not in Nebraska right now! We had hoped that this was our week to go and visit all of Brads family, but with work being so crazy, are waiting a bit longer to go. Friday evening is a big family get together. (Sarah and her now husband, Shaun, eloped to Colorado earlier this summer, so they are celebrating the marriage and Hannah and Karter being back from KS for the summer.) We will be thinking of you tonight Stahl family! Wish we were there!
