Our Yearly Bowling Event

Every year, in memory of Erin and to celebrate her birthday, we go bowling, watch one of the Grease movies (I or II) and eat something from Dairy Queen- all favorites things that Erin loved to do. 

This year the gorgeous weather made it a much easier evening event, with the temp in the 40's.  There have been years when it's been so cold out that we didn't want to leave the house, and one year the back doors of the car froze shut while we were in the bowling alley! (I'm not kidding)
January in South Dakota can be brutal.

Kinda dark, I know, but it's the only one with Quinn and Camille.

We won't disclose the scores..... :-)

Before heading to Sioux Falls for bowling, we first stopped at Hurley for a 5th grade girls basketball game.

5th grade girl's Fan Club!

Quinn and Luke- where are your pompoms?

Then when we got home from Dairy Queen, we played The Farming Game.  I gotta say, it was nice to put away the Saturday To Do list and just play with our kids for the day.

However, if they are out of undies on Monday because the laundry didn't get done on Saturday, I don't want to hear about it!
