Fall Vacation: Day 8

Today the plan was to head down to 101 so we could start the Oregon coast part of the vacation.  I can't really remember why we got such a late start but we ended up tired very early on and just wanting to call it quits early in the day.  We decided to head into Longview and stay there and get to Astoria the next morning.  Unfortunately the hotel we found that had adjoining rooms wasn't super comfortable and we didn't really feel like hanging out there for the whole evening so we went out to Dinner and Bowling and the arcade.  It turned out to be one of those really fun spur of the moment things that becomes a fun memory.


Everyone bowled.  The 3 youngest had their own lane with bumpers.




The 8 pound ball was almost too much for Elayna but she was determined.

"Yeah I did it!"



Elayna thought it was fun even when she didn't knock any pins down.

Are these not the cutest bowling shoes you have ever seen?


Anna and Elayna comparing shoes.

Look daddy, my shoes look like yours.



Everyone hung in there.  Elayna and Anna even almost made it through the two full games.  But they were pretty tired by the time we got back.

  1. Bowling is so much fun. We used to go every week when we were first married. It was one of the things we did on one of our first dates. I love it that they have bumpers for the little ones. (I had never seen them until the girls went bowling for Abbey's birthday (before they moved). I love those spur of the moment outings, they usually turn out to be much better than what was planned originally:) I can't wait to see how Oregon turned out. (although you all are tiring me out by everything you did on your vacation)
