You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

Disco Bowling?

You've likely heard of "Disco Bowling"....you know the weekend bowling with music and lights? Well, we attempted "regular bowling" with the kids (Tricia and I). Travis came and met us and bowled a few frames before he had to get back to work....I thought the kids would love it! And the older ones did, but Tyler was a disaster. I think he bowled twice and then he was done...screaming (literally) the entire duration. He would send the ball down the alley and then be mad when he couldn't go after it. So finally I broke down and went and spent $1.50 on a stupid bag of cookies - it was the best $1.50 I have ever spent. He (Tyler) sat at the scoring table and ate cookies and drank soda (quietly) for about 4 frames or so....it was glorious! In the meantime the other kids loved waiting for the ball at the ball return, bowling with the bumpers, and eating nachos. When all was done, we went to burger king and they got lunch and played some more.

That was a lot of fun! You did a great job coming up with things to do over spring break!

So much fun! That is a great picture of you holding your two younger boys, too! The cookies thing made me laugh. You spend all this money to go bowling, and he'd rather have a bag of cookies. So familiar....
