The boys have had such a great time so far...yes, they miss home and miss their daddy. Drew asks me at least twice a week when he gets to go to his "real home." We'll make it though. Doug was able to come up for the holiday weekend. He took Thursday and Friday off of work and had a long weekend with us.
We went bowling in Provo to Fat Cats. What a great time we had. It was my parents, us, and my sister and her little family.
Drew loved being able to roll the ball down the lane. The lane actually records the speed of your ball and I think Drew's fastest ball was about 3 miles an hour! But he had a great time!
So did Preston. Even though he didn't have his own frame, my dad and I let him bowl with us. He would get so excited when he got to roll that ball down the ramp and watch it know those pins over!
Preston wasn't really paying attention and ended up tripping over my brother-in-law's shoe and fell into the ball return. As you can see, his left eyebrow swelled up quite nice. By the next day it was a nice black eye.
After bowling we went to this really cool place called Pirate Island. It's a restaurant and arcade. The entire place was decorated all pirate like. There was a big ship with a skeleton man sitting on the plank. Every so often it would thunder and lightening, and the skeleton would talk. Then the ship would shoot out smoke rings from the cannons. The boys loved it! Our waiter was nice, all dressed up as a pirate...he even talked like one. I'm sure his voice by the end of the night was so hoarse.
After dinner the boys played in the arcade. We ended up with 519 tickets. Seriously. Drew and Preston got swords and an eye patch with their tickets.
This week the weather has been good, so the boys wanted to play on the slip 'n' slide. Drew was great and would actually do it. Preston wasn't so sure. My dad ended up throwing him down the slide!
Preston did really enjoy drinking the water...or trying to drink the water!
Izzy is just enjoying the sun. What a cutie!
Daisy is enjoying the water. She sat under one of the sprayers and let it get her all wet. It was really funny to watch her!
So this is what we have been doing for the past couple of weeks.
