Christmas Eve Fun

On Christmas Eve  we met our dear old friends, the Vandergriffs, and took the kids bowling. We were looking for a family friendly activity that was indoors, because Christmas Eve was cold and rainy. 
We chose the first bowling alley in Raleigh, near NC State. The price was right so we thought we would give it a try. Well, we quickly realized why the prices were low... it opened over 50 years and basically has never changed!!! Original pins, hardwood lanes, and blow - up bumpers for the kids. But, it was so fun! And, the kids had a blast! 

Ethan about to Strike!

Isaac waiting on his chance! Everyone wanted the orange ball because it was only 6 pounds.

The girls are trying to figure out how to keep score. That's right folks - there was no machine keeping score! Just an old fashioned score bad, and not one of us really knew what we were doing.


Two pretty ladies.

The math wiz takes over the score card.



All 7 of the kiddos!! So thankful they are all getting to grow up together. And, so incredibly blessed to have their parents as our close friends!

We totally played at this alley! Actually, one of my friends took a bowling class (as part of his phys ed requirements for NCSU) at that alley! LOVE it.

“When I was young, I said to God, 'God, tell me the mystery of the universe.' But God answered, 'That knowledge is for me alone.' So I said, 'God, tell me the mystery of the peanut.' Then God said, 'Well George, that's more nearly your size.' And he told me.”- George Washington Carver
