Hayley's Class Parties
Since Hayley's birthday is in the summer, she got to celebrate her with her class the last week of school. She brought some popsicles to share with the class for a perfect treat the day before school got out.

Party at the Library!
Tonight was the end of Summer Reading Program at the library. The kids had a blast, gorging themselves on free hot dogs, snowcones, ice cream, cookies, popcorn & candy. They also had areas where they could play games and win prizes, face painting and bouncing on the moonwalk (and surprisingly enough, I didn't see one kid barf after eating all that food and jumping!). And just in case they didn't eat enough junk food there, they handed out goody bags with candy and gum to each kid on the way out the door.
Talk about motivating a kid to read...the library rocks!

Bowling Adventures
I think it must be the season for parties. In the last 3 days we had 1 baby shower and 3 birthday parties. The parties were a lot of fun, but it was a lot of running around. One smart mom took advantage of the 2nd graders early release day from school on Friday and had her son's birthday party early that afternoon at the bowling alley.
When we took Trevor, there was a spare lane with bumpers that they had reserved and the Mom insisted that Hayley and Jake have it. The kids all had a blast. Trevor and Hayley remember going real bowling before, but I think Jake's experience with bowling has been pretty limited to the Wii...so this was pretty exciting.
The lightest ball we found was a 9 pound ball, but the kids kept chosing different balls based on the color anyway, so some were like 14 pounds. I loved the cute little bowling shoes they had!
It was funny to see the kids huck the balls down the alley, like a shot put. Jake's balls were so slow going down the alley, he would sit or lay flat on the lane and watch it with his hands propped up under his chin.
I think Hayley's favorite part was the slick floors. She would take a running start and slide across the floor on her knees.
All of Trevor's friends loved having Jake and Hayley there and kept giving them high fives everytime they hucked the ball down the lane. Jake ended up beating Hayley in the first game, 87 to 73.
Trevor had the high score of 107 in his game, even bowling a couple of strikes.
Jake and Hayley's second game was called because of injury to a smushed finger because a certain 3 year old was a little anxious to get his ball. But it was all made better with a little bit of ice cream. Good times!
