Boys activities

On Saturday, October 19th, AJ had their annual bowl-a-thon to raise money for their big trip to Normandy. 

 

Getting ready to start their three games of bowling.

 

He cracks me up - such a goof ball!

 

AJ did it again - he was first place in his Den.

 

He beat the next person by 1 bowling pin.  He was so excited about it!!!

 

Then on the next Saturday was the boys last soccer games.  The morning as we left the house it was high clouds and actually kind of warm.  By the time we made it down to the two fields it was pouring down rain.  I couldn't believe how much the sky opened up.  Michael is dancing in the rain.

 

AJ's team has won every game they have played, so one of the parents made the new sign for them being undefeated.

 

AJ really is getting after the ball and hustling!!

 

Michael - nice and soaked but having a good time!

 

Doing a little dance in the mud - and yes he did play soccer also!

 

The last cheer for their team.

 

Michael was set on handing out the trophies to his teammates since his mom ordered them.  The coach said it was fine and he thought it was great!!

 

Michael and his coach.

 

The team with their trophies

 

Alex and Michael - they are too cute!!!  The parents decided not to do a big party so we just did this right after the game.  I think they were just as happy with it and so were we!!!

 

AJ running after the ball - hustling!!

 

And luckily they remained undefeated so the sign stands.  Though at this age they don't "keep score".

 

Last huddle as a team.  The coach was intense but did a great job with the team and they learned a lot!

 

Their team decided to do a bowling party.

 

While we were there, Michael and David went out for lunch together!!  Michael riding in the back of Daddy's new car!!

 

AJ had a great time bowling and then received his trophy with his coach.

 

Andre and AJ - teammates and friends!

 

They received some new sun glasses - so this is their "cool" pose!!!  The boys had a bit of an interrupted season with traveling and the government shut down, but it was good all the same!!  Next season doesn't start until December, so we have a little bit of time 'til then.  Kind of nice because my parents arrive tomorrow!!!  We are all extremely excited and can't wait to see them!!!!
