Saturday Outing

This evening after Michael was done working he & I took the boys bowling. We've been promising them for quite a long time. Drew loves to bowl and was very excited. Nick didn't remember bowling in the past, but very quickly became hooked. Most of the time he'd walk up to the lane and bowl all by himself. Then he'd do this hilarious jump/dance every time he knocked some pins down.



Drew loves bowling and created his own little leg kick of sorts before rolling (a.k.a., throwing) the ball down the lane. It was pretty funny.


As for Michael & I, let's just say that the side bumpers for the kids came in handy for us as well! Michael was the only one of us who even broke 100. As for me, I almost got beat by Nick!

Last night after we played games with Craig & Vickie and put the boys down to sleep, Michael & I watched "Gone, Baby, Gone". It has an extreme moral dilemma at the end.... something that was still making us think even today. The language was actually so bad that we almost turned it off. Perhaps we should have. But if you are able to get past the language, and if you're not a foster parent, then the movie is worth watching simply for the dilemma at the end. You realize that if the decision at the end were yours to make, you would be riddled with guilt for the rest of your life regardless of which way you chose. It's just that one guilt would be much harder to bear.... and for each person the answer/choice that would produce the greater feeling of guilt might be different.
