January Family Fun

This post is a bit tardy (surprise, surprise). One of our resolutions this year is to have a family fun activity each month. For January we decided to go bowling! Sam has a great love for bowling thanks to our friends the Williamses who let us bowl for free at the "old Union". Ah, good times!

We went to the bowling alley early Tuesday evening. Troy had great form...just needed some help with carrying the ball & pushing it in the correct direction.

Sam would faithfully watch his ball go down the lane. His favorite part though was to see it come back down to the ball return.

Josh was there but I didn't get any good pictures of him...except from the back (& as much as I enjoy those I'm not sure our family blog is ready for that!). We all had good games & are plotting our family fun for February...stay tuned!

Ski Snowshoe

For Josh's birthday we went to Snowshoe, WV for a ski weekend. John & Stacy joined us. We arrived Saturday night & after checking in & getting settled we walked around the resort. We ended up at the snow tube area & my smooth-talking husband got us free rides! It was fun & crazy at the same time. Not much skill or technique required, thankfully.

We all went skiing on Sunday, despite the rain. After lunch Josh & John went back out to ski more while Stacy & I stayed in our warm, dry room. We were able to get a late check-out for Monday so we all hit the slopes again. The weather was much better & I started to feel like I knew what I was doing. Don't get me wrong I fell A LOT...more than anyone else. But that also meant that I was the best at getting up...half the battle.


Snowshoe is a great resort...hopefully this isn't our only visit!
