Birthday Bowling and the Flu

Since the kids were heading back to Provo today, Sunday, we decided to celebrate my birthday a little early.

We started out at the Bowling Alley - I'm not much of a bowler but it is something we can all do together and that was the goal!

Here is the Birthday Bowler!

And of course the girls were the most stylishly dressed bowlers there!

Clark showed off his "I'm in a bowling league!" form.

Tessa was the top girl bowler with a combined score of 210 -even tying with her dad!! I was the big loser - seems like since it was my birthday they should have let me win!!

But the very best part of bowling - I get to wear velcro shoes!! Yes, my feet are so small I have to wear a children's size 4!

After bowling we went to dinner at one of our favorite little locally owned Italian restaurants. We returned home for a Samba rematch between the boys and girls - we were 1- 1 and had to break the tie. I am happy to report that the girls won!!

The evening started going downhill from there when Logan starting throwing up and a bad case of diarrhea (sorry if that is too much info) Initially we thought maybe that cream based red pepper sauce was the problem but early this morning Cali also came down with the same symptoms.

We looked into delaying their flight out but she thought she would be o.k. The family "barf" bowl accompanied them in the car and was used! Sorry to whomever parks next to the curb at the airport where Jim dumped the contents!!

The garbage can near the gate was also conveniently located and Cali took advantage of it.

Fortunately she slept on the flight to Boise and the connection to Salt Lake.

She and Logan are safely tucked away in their beds in Provo hopefully sleeping this off. Clark seems to be doing fine.

In addition to a pair of snow boots the college students left something else behind -their germs!

Tessa was up and almost ready for church when she began throwing up so off to bed she went. Jim made it through church and teaching his lesson and is now in bed upstairs. I am fine - so far!.
