Bowling with Dad

Our family loves going bowling together. It's more of a Daddy/kids thing, but I went on Father's Day and had a blast! Eric can be a bit competitive and gets a little nervous when I get close to his score, but so far he has been the big winner. Alyssa was really good too. Zachary still uses the bumpers so his score was close to mine. We all have a lot of fun when we bowl together. I love finding things we all enjoy as a family.

Summer Fun

This summer the kids turned nine and five. I can't believe how fast they grow up. We take a trip to Pleasanton every summer to visit family and friends and to celebrate the kids' birthdays with them. This summer Zachary finally realized he could swim. Two summers ago he fell in my Mom's pool and swam to the edge with no problems. I ran over to him to see if he was okay and told him how excited I was that he could swim. He was a little startled, but excited too. I told him to go get his suit on! Instead, he just looked at me and said it was his spiderman jammies that helped him swim and he would not swim without them! This went on for almost two years. So we were so happy when he figured out he could swim without Spiderman's help!
