Christian Chicken and a Five Pin Match

While we were in Canada Gramma and Grandpa Mack watched the kid for us so that we could go out to goof off for a bit. We went out to lunch at Swiss Chalet and then off to bowl a few games of five pin. We won't talk about who won, cause we don't want to embarrass anyone.



Here we are at our table. I like Swiss Chalet. I had it first when we were engaged, I think, or nearly so. It vaguely reminds me of Chicken Jose's in Puerto Rico.


Here's a shot of Andrew's Shirley Temple, which he was oddly excited to get. I guess it reminded him of his childhood. :)


don't you think the ball brought out the colour in my eyes? Or, at least my shirt...


Showing me how it's done.


Just being silly.


Oops! I'm pretty sure it's a good thing you can't see where the ball ended up!

We had a really good time. We had hoped to go to Wonderland but it was just too much to work in with Luke being as young as he is. But we had a lovely afternoon together.

Just Luke

He is such a fun and goofy kid. He loves this bowl. I have pretty much just let it begin it's life in the toy bin instead of in my cupboard. Only recently has he begun to "help" mommy in the kitchen by grabbing this bowl and waiting until I give him a spoon to stir with. He's just so much fun these days. He learns something new every day!


"Hey Mom, did you know this makes a great hat?"



"See, you put it on like this..."




How can you not smile at this?
