Ez's Special Day

Last month we had Olivia's special day. 
Just Olivia for one night and one day.  Doing something special -- her choice.
Bad mom forgot to take pictures of that.

Friday was Ezren's turn.
After dropping the kids off at the Grandpa's, we came home for dinner.
Nothing special there -- leftovers.
But we did spend the evening playing Skip Bo, Uno, and the Wii.
FUN!

Saturday morning we went to some garage sales (good finds!) and then home to shower and get ready for lunch.
We have a new Chick-fil-a just up the road.  For the Grand Opening they sent us some coupons.
I love coupons!
Got a free sandwich for me and a free Kid's Meal for Ezren.  Chad had to pay for his meal. 
It was a really fun lunch. 
Ezren was very excited to have us to himself.  He talked a lot.

After lunch was the main event . . . BOWLING!
Ezren's been bowling twice before and absolutely loves it.
Bowling is so expensive these days.  I don't remember it being that expensive growing up.
Thank goodness for coupons!

Got the shoes.

Picked the ball.

We're ready!

Ezren gets a few pointers from Chad (who was in a bowling league as a child...).

The people in the lane next to us had a lot of bowling balls and Ezren liked to choose different ones each time.

Did you know that bowling alleys have these really cool ramps for little kids to use?  They're awesome!  You put the ball on top, give it a big push, and whoosh!  It goes down and (hopefully) knocks some pins.

During the game I had two strikes.

Yes, you read right. Two.

This was not one of them.  In fact, this throw ended up being a gutter ball.

But check the scores!

Ezren:66

Chad: 114

Kathrina: 85

Apparently, Wii bowling does not translate to real bowling.

The bowling alley we were at had a game room, and we decided to play.

I wanted to play air hockey (rock!), but Chad and Ezren wanted to play Mario Kart. 

Ezren couldn't reach the pedals, so Chad worked the pedals and Ez did the steering.

He was so proud they won first place!

It was such a fun day!

How did Ez feel about it, you ask?

I think he was happy . . .
