Saturday, knowing Joseph wouldn't have any school for a week we decided to celebrate by having some fun with our friends Kelly and Tyler. (Plus after the cougars lost we needed some serious cheering up.) We started by going bowling and had a great time! We hadn't been for awhile and Joe really wanted to. The first game went by fast and Joe won of course. He impressed us all by throwing some really great curve balls!
We played a second game like all great bowlers do and Joe tried to keep up his great power ball throws and amazing pin action, but it was not enough. His pin spray was nothing compared to my strikes and I beat him!!! I think it was the first time ever, what a victory! So, not quite feeling like we had our fulfilled our gaming urge, and because going out with a loss was not sitting well with Joseph we decided to go play some board games and make root beer floats!
We started off by playing candy land a few times. We made a rule that when you landed on the same space as someone else you knocked them back to the beginning of the board. It made things a little more interesting than just waiting to see if you pulled a gumdrop. It was pretty funny. Then we played Jenga a few times. I'm pretty sure I lost the most as Jenga, but we learned a fun new way to take the blocks out of the stack! It was pretty hilarious. Kelly showed us how to do it and then when Joseph tried, unexpectedly, he almost hit her. They come out pretty fast so we were glad it missed her and laughed pretty hard at how well it worked. I have another attempt on video. You can tell it started to hurt his fingers. Not a move for the fragile fingered.
