SMA Awareness Day 11--Sorry so boring

Just another day around here.  Both boys got showers.  Colin and I rushed so we could get the dry shower chair, ha ha.  Other than that--not much happening.  Boy, I feel guilty for not making these "awareness" posts more interesting.

Random post from the past:  We miss Andrea!  She was a great nurse for Colin. 

Bowling and another beautiful vacation day

The boys slept in a little bit.  They probably would have slept longer, but we got a little bored.  Andrea was here for Colin and Julie for Casey.  We took it a little slow and got ready when we were ready.  Casey got up in his chair early because he wanted to play computer, so he did.  I got two loads of laundry out.

We've had NO rain for 8 days!  It's getitng pretty dry here.  There isn't a statewide burning ban, but if we don't get rain soon, I think there will be.

Gene got us gas because we were on fumes.   He actually got us a whole quarter of a tank!

We probably got to the bowling alley around 11:00.  It was pretty quiet, and we like it that way!  We had lane #2 which is good.  Julie brought her own ball and shoes, how embarassing!  Actually, her shoes look more like sneakers and looked way more comfy than the hard leather things Andrea and I got.  AC met us there but didn't bowl.



Here's me and my star bowler, Casey, who won with a score of 129!  Actually, Andrea tied with him, but he really won because she worked the bumpers to get her score and Casey didn't use them!



Here's Colin and Andrea working the lanes.  He did pretty well, although he got robbed with a few of his shots.  He beat me, though!  I came in last!

We had a good time, but we only bowled one game.  We went to the arcade and did a few things there.  They don't have a whole lot that the boys like or can do.  A lot of the games are violent or dumb.  Julie and Casey played a racing game.  Andrea and I played air hockey.  We all tried some of the grabbers.  They told us that they were continuing with the rennovations and that there would be a new game room some time this summer.

Afterwards, Julie ran into Costco and got us some berry sundaes.

We were hoping the boys would want to hang outside for a while but they wanted to go in and watch a movie.  Casey watched Hairspray in his room and Colin watched Surf's Up in the living room.

Not much else.  Gene had gone up to Scott's to work on his Explorer.  He came back greasy, dirty and with a gash on his finger.

Got the boys into bed pretty early.  We finished Aliens for Breakfast.

That's about it.
