Friday John picked the girls up from school. That's a treat to have Dad at school! I was waiting in the car and saw them walking out all holding hands. It was so cute I had to jump out - but was a little too late. Ashlyn doesn't last too long at anything (except getting into things).Friday night we got a babysitter and went out with Matt & Kim. We were going to see "Becoming Jane" but missed the last showing (much to the guys' dismay), so we went out for Thai food, then to Borders (have you checked out the new book "The Dangerous Book for Boys"? It's a good one, especially if you have boys) then on to ColdStone. It was such a warm night - we sat outside the Promenade and chatted until 11pm.
Saturday we took the kids to the beach. Madison wanted to learn how to surf. We got a foam board and headed out to a beach. Since we were having a major heat wave (it hit 100 here! yikes!), we were happy to escape to the beach and didn't even think about wetsuits. The water was so unbelievably freezing!!! We were not just used to Hawaii water, either. I checked out the surf report and it said the water is 60 degrees! That's way too cold for comfort, especially this time of year. So we whimped out and went home. We had chores to do, a talk and lessons to prepare anyway!
Monday we went bowling. Another hot day - it was a great activity to beat the heat. The kids loved it. Brooke even got a couple of strikes, and Christian some near-strikes. Gotta love the bumpers!
After bowling, we went swimming and barbequed at Matt & Kim's. We had a great time and are so sad they are moving to Japan!
