We were excited for the four day Martin Luther King holiday weekend (but, of course being that it's not a German holiday, Benjamin still had school on Monday and Friday). So, we planned on heading to a nearby museum on Saturday. But Samuel and Grace ended up having a stomach bug of sorts on Friday. Their stomach woes ended up accumulating 6 loads of laundry with all the blankets and pillows taking up their fair share of washer space. ugh.
Luckily after Friday nights episodes, the kids were on the mend on Saturday but still not 100 percent so we had a low key around the house kind of day. I was just thankful that no one seemed to be ill.
Come Sunday we were all good here and we were off to church that morning. Phew! We made it! So, after some nap time on Sunday we headed to the nearby bowling alley at Patrick Henry Village.
Another 1st for us here in Heidelberg... bowling! We have been to the bowling alley several times for the Kids Zone (much like Chucky Cheese's with arcade games, pizza, indoor play area, etc). And every time we had been there Samuel was fascinated with the bowling alley and the bowlers. He was always asking to if we could bowl. This time the answer was "Yes!" He was thrilled, as was Benjamin. We bowled with the boys on a lane with a gutter
guard which allows us all to be a little bit better bowlers than we normally would be! Plus they had a metal ramp the boys could use to push their bowling balls off of which gave them another advantage. The kids really got into it... cheering and anxiously awaiting their next turn to bowl. And Grace was a complete angel just hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere.
We also got a bite to eat there and then headed for home. Since that outing Don has been stricken with the stomach bug and hasn't left our bedroom much. ick! This morning he reported to sick call and got a doctors note for today and tomorrow. Hopefully his rest will pay off and he'll be back to himself soon.
