Family Fun!

Over the long weekend, Tim had 3 days off. This is highly unusual. 3 days off in a row is nice but the fact that the days were Saturday, Sunday and Monday, well that made it EXTRA special! It was completely a fluke that it worked out that way. We felt it was such a blessing we should celebrate it!!!! And HOW does the Bray family celebrate something like this stroke of good luck??????

We go BOWLING!!!!!!
Mason choosing his ball
He takes aim and pushes off!Away it goes!!!!

Second shot with Jasmyn's help.So pleased with himself
Jasmyn's turn
She LOVED bowling!
Kaleb started off using the ramp... but then decided to try it alone.
It took FOREVER for the ball to reach the pins.
But he liked bowling just like Dad!
Still waiting for the ball to reach the pins....


WOO HOO!
I think Mason's favorite part was the ball return!


Happy Little Bowlers!!!

Mason too!
After bowling we played on the inside play land area at Triple Play. The kids were getting hungry and so was everyone else. We said goodbye to Mom who had joined us to watch the action! After Grandma left the kids needed fluids. It is very humid in Triple Play due to the water slides. So we all were parched. We ended up going through a drive thru for Lemonade.
By this point it was getting late and dinner time was approaching. We went to Tomato street Restaurant to have dinner. The kids were ANGELS during dinner. They played with playdoh and colored on the chalk board. It was a very relaxing meal, which again is unusual! Normally eating out is stressful and we have at least 1 meltdown! Not that time! We were truly proud of the kids! And everyone slept really well that night! We must have wore them out bowling! LOL!
The next day Tim and I spent the day cleaning our basement. Tim has a wonderful Shop area for all his tools. But it was a PIT and you could not find ANYTHING. Also my craft area downstairs was thrashed from making the pinata for Kaleb's birthday and also just left over Christmas messes. We spent about 4 1/2 hrs cleaning those 2 rooms. We now have a huge pile of stuff to go to either Goodwill or to a garage sale. It is nice to be organized again! And the kids were so helpful! They ran up and down the stairs taking trash out and getting stuff for us! They were the perfect little go-fers!
On Monday we just hung out and relaxed. I think I might have done some laundry, but all told it was a relaxing and wonderfully fun weekend with our family! And productive to boot!
