Jane and mom stayed home from church because Jane is still sick. Just dropped the kids off and came back 3 hours later to get them. Love those reverent, responsible kiddoes.

12.30 t
- slow start, pics ordered
- Nampa errands, bowling in Boise, movie in Nampa (Alexander bad day)
Our bowling experience was THE most chaotic, circus like event that they make movies out of. It all comes down to the fact that the bowling ball return wasn't working and their customer service was TERRIBLE. We told them multiple times. We held the kids off for a while, talked to the employees again - they never told us to stop playing OR moved us to a new lane. Irritated at this point we let the kids keep playing to the point where they were getting balls from all around the alley to keep bowling since every. single. ball. was stuck in the return...ahhhh. Granted they were not too happy when they finally came down to inspect the situation. And neither were the moms. They moved us to a new lane and things kinda calmed down. The bowling alley gave us a $10 GC for all our troubles but I somehow really doubt we'll be back to use it!
the pile of balls they are manually pulling out of the lane. I walked away at the last count of 26...
These two have an oil & water relationship. Yikes these two strong spirits!
Smiling among the chaos swirling around us.
