First Annual Kids' Day

A few months ago, the boys pointed out that it was unfair that there was a Mother's Day and a Father's Day but no Kids' Day. They asked if they could set aside July 17 (third Sunday in July) as Kids' Day and we would have to do whatever they wanted for the day. We agreed - kind of expecting them to forget about it. We should have known better! So today was the First Annual Kids' Day. We started out with a trip to Barnes & Noble so the kids could pick out a few new books. Alex chose two Nate the Great mysteries and William picked two Treehouse Mystery books. Then we went to Chuck E. Cheese to play and have lunch. After that, we went to Airway Lanes where the boys played mini golf (Alex got 2 hole in ones and William got 1 hole in one). Then they bowled one game and played some of the arcade games. After that, we went home and went to the pool for a while. We wrapped up the night with hot dogs and s'mores over the campfire and a few rounds of Bocce Ball. It was a very fun family day!
