Bowling at the Beach

The morning that the hurricane blew by Ocean City, Maryland, we decided to take the girls bowling. It was my "great" idea to walk to the bowling alley that was about 5 blocks away because I thought the rain and wind were over.  Needless to say, we were a little wet when we arrived, but we had an adventure getting there and we all had a lot of fun bowling together.

 

 

 the wind was blowing so hard that Rob couldn't even hear Ella talking right next to him

 

 

 

 every intersection got us a little closer to the alley

 

 

 

 wet girls ready to play

 love that look of surprise!

Molly was playing with the veggies from our garden and "made Daddy"---

the plates are his eyes with two tomato pupils, the tomatoes on top are his eyebrows, the little green peppper his nose and the banana pepper at the bottom is his smile

REWIND: October Cookie Making

 decorating was the favorite part
