Holiday Weekend

Dave is off work for the week due to winter shut down, and the boys don't have school on Monday for Martin Luther King, Jr Day, so we tried to think of something fun to do.  Dave didn't want to go out of town, and I didn't just want to sit around, so we came up with our own kind of fun.

Friday night we had Theme Night.  This is a tradition we will have to keep.  For our first one we went on a Safari.  We made vests, hats, and binoculars for the boys, then sat on our safari bus to see what animals we could spot.  When we got to a good look-out point, we had a picnic on our lepard skin blanket and watched the animals. (Lion King the movie).  We had animal crackers, sandwiches, drinkable yogurt (with monkeys on them), gummy bugs, and juice boxes.  It was so fun.  The boys keep asking when the next theme night will be.

Saturday we went bowling as a family.  Then we had 2 families of friends over for homemade pizza.  It was fun to visit and play and eat together.

Monday we invited a bunch of families to meet us at the gym at the church and we played kickball.  I was disappointed that there weren't more dads that had the day off, but we had fun with moms and kids.  It was a fun way to get excersize and play together.  Then our little family went to Pizza Hut for lunch to use our Book-It coupons.



Colt is a great pitcher!



It was a fun weekend together, even though we didn't go anywhere.  Making our own kind of fun!
