Happy Birthday Mom

Eleanor and Henry celebrated Mom’s birthday this week with a fun day of presents and bowling. It was our first family trip to the bowling alley, and while we weren’t sold on the idea at first, everyone ended up having a good time. Henry was especially reluctant, but once he saw Eleanor bowl her first frame, he was ready to join in. It took a couple of frames for them to get the hang of it, but by the end they were both bowling by themselves, and Eleanor even got a spare! We also did a present string trail for Mama, and she got lots of puzzles that are sure to keep her busy for a while.

Also this week, Eleanor and Henry had camp at Kids Science Lab, and the theme was “Artists are scientists too”, which Eleanor was especially excited about. Both kids really enjoyed it all week, and were asking to do another week. We also had a goodbye party for our friends Robin and Colby, who are moving away this summer – we will miss you!
