Playing the Wii

While at Tom's parent's house we were able to play the nintendo Wii. Tom's sister and brother-in-law have one and they brought it with them. As you can tell by the pictures, we all had a little fun playing the bowling game. And there is a good explanation for the picture of Tom's mom looking at all of us as we throw our feet into the air. On the bowling game, if you don't hang on to your bowling ball...you end up throwing it backwards into the crowd. As your ball heads toward your co-bowlers who are waiting their turn, their feet all go up into the air so they don't get hit. So we were doing the same thing every time Tom's mom threw the bowling ball backwards.

Vacation--part II

Well, here are the rest of the pictures from our vacation week. We headed up north to a cabin in Cheboygan, Michigan. We had a great time relaxing at the cabin on the lake. There was even a pontoon boat that we were able to take around the lake. We called my dad the captain. He was definitely in his element. One evening we built a fire, had smores and used
the mountain pie maker. Tom and I also set up our tent one evening just to use our new mats we had just bought. The mats turned out to be great, but it was so cold outside that I froze the whole night.When we got up in the morning, we found out that it was 39 degrees!!!! No wonder I was freezing.
Of course, I should add that I had a wet head from the shower before bed. hmmm....that probably contributed a little to the shivering.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the time we were able to get to spend just having a great time together.
