Happy Valentine's Day!

We were definitely looking forward to a 3 day weekend. We'd had a super busy week the week of Phoebe's birthday, and I think we were all looking for a little rest. We even managed to sleep in. On Saturday, we'd planned on taking an awesome torch (like fiery torch) hike in the woods and light a bonfire of Christmas trees, but the mayor decided to reschedule the hike in the hopes of better weather. Look forward to a post on that, weather permitting.  Montanna and I had been super impressed with our initiative in getting out and "doing something" cultural. Oh, well.

So we decided that the next day we'd do something with the kiddos. We considered seeing Kung Fu Panda 3, mostly because it's the only kids movie out right now. Then, we decided that it wasn't worth the money, and instead we went bowling. And it was a blissfully slow day at the alley! And they had a special. Here are some pictures...

Vivi liked crouching and watching people bowl.

Umm, the food here is actually good.

This picture happened because I forgot to disable the self-timer.

Phoebe and I had some fun with the self-timer when Vivi and Daddy were in the restroom.

She was just generally unable to remain in the designated non-bowler area.

Vivi's turn.

Tickle monster.

Phoebe pouting after she pushed Vivi down for not backing away during her turn. Also, congratulated the dude in the background on getting Kirby Smart as a head coach for his football team. We both agreed Kirby was awesome.

Daddy helped Vivi bowl because she was kind of pouting after falling on the hard bowling floor.

Look at that pose.

Counting the holes in the balls.

Serious goofball.

So, over all we had a fantastic Valentine's day. We wrapped up our day by eating leftovers, skyping with Sophie, and talking with Grandpa E on his birthday. Hope you guys had a spectacular evening too!
