Bowling Mania

Now that we finally have the proper Internet and can download pictures faster, I must get caught up on our happenings. We went bowling on Halloween day with some friends that were passing through on their way back to London.
Mason is always happy to be bowling, but he loves it even more since he started the 4th grade and they go to the bowling alley for their community time every couple of weeks. He really is spoiled in his school!
Brennan finally was understanding about the game and through quite a few down that were right down the middle. He does take after his siblings, in that he has to lay down and view the ball going down from the side.
Taylor was also willing to throw it instead of using the ramp and she found that she was quite good as well.
Carter is getting better and better, he also has a little competitive bug in him, watched the scores the whole time and was trying to figure out how much he needed to win.
This is Elder Kats, who was the one passing through. As he has been mentioned on the blog before, lets just say....we have adopted him as our brother. :)

Uncle Mike was also still with us, the kids were so excited when he was around. Brennan was going through pictures on the computer with me yesterday and even remembered his name--I think that is the first time that has happened outside our immediate family.

The next time we went bowling was the first week in November. The kids were out of school for their half term and we were recruited to help some 20 odd missionaries to get on the base for a day of fun. They were meeting as a zone, and the kids were in heaven with this many Elders, and the added bonus of some Sisters!

Carter took the camera and had a fun time going around snapping some shots. I appreciate the fine example all of these men or women are when they come to our home or when we just meet them for a fun afternoon. We have made some dear friends and are grateful for the opportunity we have to spend the time we do with those that are about the Lord's work in the London Mission.


Carter was especially fond of the sister missionaries. Taylor wouldn't leave their side either. They always have the Elders in our home, so I think they like having the sisters around.
