bowling party!

Max's bowling party was no turkey! (Har har, I'm a bowling pun genius!) I think that we hit on something that really was fun for all ages: the adults got a chance to do something they don't often make time for, the teenagers seemed like they were having fun, and even the littlest kids there (Henry and Leo) got to take their turns with the help of bumpers and ball slides. Max loved opening his gifts (it was a VERY Mario birthday!) and hanging out with everybody. And we especially loved that our friends Mark, Katie, Linus, and Leo made the trip from Chicagoland and spent the day with us. They even stuck around afterward for plenty of pizza and catching up back at our house. Sadly for them, I think our boys managed to turn their boys into Mario fanatics in the span of a few brief hours. Our deepest apologies, Mark and Katie, and we hope the spell wears off soon!
