The Family That Plays Together, Stays Together

 

The Family:

 

We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing germs and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding things, borrowing money, kissing to heal, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.  Erma Bombeck                                                                        

Kendra recently bonded us together for a family game night. She took us to this new place called Main Event. It is filled with all kinds of activities and Monday Madness only cost $10 per person for unlimited fun all night. 

The night started out with bowling on brand new state of the art lanes. No more of the score keeping with tiny pencils and paper. News, sports, and shows are playing on the screens at the end of the alley. 
 Seth J. it turns out is a really good bowler.
Anisha gave Seth W.  a little competition.
At the beginning of the game you can put selfie pictures in the score pad and during bowling funny pictures come up called You Tunes - funny cartoons of all of us just randomly played.  Here Kendra is a champion boxer. 
Dakota insisted on wearing a dress that night. Notice the cute dress with the cheesy bowling shoes. Classic!
Then it was on to the tight rope. It is suspended inside up at the roof and you are able to walk all around the top suspended from harnesses. 
There goes Brian and Dakota (I bet she is having second thoughts about the dress now). 
Hailey, Ryker and the rest of the gang take their turn.
Nathan and Ryker. The spaces aren't too far apart for Nathan but Ryker is sure having second thoughts.
Dakota was a good little sport. 
TJ goes next.  When Kendra went across, TJ and Nathan were shaking the ropes the whole time to try to slow her down.
Hang on tight Ryker!

If you notice, the Grandparents were not on the tight rope. People our age do not belong on the ceiling. The pressure is on when we go back.

Have fun and play!
