Jon and I were up for the next quarter and once July started I knew we needed a plan stat. We had everyone meet at our house, where I welcomed them with a homemade Italian Soda with different flavor options. They were a hit and very refreshing on a hot summer evening. Once everyone had arrived and were visiting I ran and picked up our sitter and we were off! We ate dinner at a local resteraunt on Center Street, where Matt was able to meet up with us, fresh off his flight! Dinner was great, we are still a huge group without all the kids and had to do some table rearranging. From there we went on to bowling at Fat Cats. With the great music cranked, fluorescent lights pumping, it wasn't hard to get into it, and it was a lot of fun, cheering people on and watching mommy bowl! She scored higher than Jon! It really was a lot of fun- I mean, when else have I ever bowled with my family???
Afterwards we all came back to our house and filled up on Ice Cream Sundae's complete with lots of toppings and more good conversation. I wasn't sure how it would all end up, with the sitter and getting kids to bed, but it all worked out great! Good times all around! My family is the best!
