Keeping these kids busy!

We discovered the past two weeks that the kids like to go to the movies!  On Tuesdays, Birkdale has $1 showings of popular kids' movies.  So, we saw Kung Fu Panda 2 last week (a little more violence than I realized...) and Rio this week (AWESOME movie!!).  Here they are before the movie started being silly, taking in all the movie theater features for the first time!


We also discovered that kids bowl free in the summer during the day!! (just have to pay shoe rental, which is just for Drew...so $4.25 for both kids to bowl for a couple hours!)  We met up with a bunch of friends and ended up having about 12 kids on three lanes!


Emma was in to it for a little bit, but was more excited about the Skittles we purchased.


I have been busy on pinterest.com and have found lots of recipes and ideas for dairy/peanut free baking.  We have been baking once a week - I just make sure we split the recipe in half so we don't have TONS of goodies hanging around...because we all know who'd end up eating them!  The kids love pouring in the ingredients and taking turns mixing it. 


Here's Emma mixing our pumpkin snickerdoodles! YUM!  Both kids REALLY liked these!


Chad surprised Drew this week with some kids' golf clubs!  He absolutely loves them!  And now, when they're not out hitting golf balls into the golf net, they are playing golf on the Wii.


And they even came with a bag and everything! 


Emma liked dragging them around, but the rest of us took some turns (we had Chad's clubs out there too). 


Not too bad of a swing for a beginner!


Chad's trying to teach him about keeping his left arm straight.


Another good try.


Sidewalk chalk, bubbles and clubs - what more does a girl need?
