Bolas

Emma had a marathon play date with Marta and Lucia on Tuesday. She was with them for 7 1/2 hours! For part of it we all (minus Jose, their dad) went bowling together at Grana Bowling. As Aidan said, "Our family pretty much kicked their family's butt!" Collin got the highest score, then Aidan, then Emma, then Ian, then me and then their family's scores. Ian ended up sliding down the lane during his turn. Aidan and Emma were on fire with their bowling. I was taking pictures of Emma and the twins and she slipped and fell down in between some bowling balls and then she was mad that I took her picture. Afterwards, we went back to Inma's house and had some herbal tea and tortilla. The kids were content to draw and watch Supernenas while the adults chatted. It was really fun and relaxing to chat with Inma and Jose. AND the boys were so good! Usually, I'm nervous to bring them somewhere where they don't have friends their age to play with, but they didn't tease or bug the girls at all. Everyone played great together.

Aidan had a play date with Cader today at his house. They played Wii and watched Hercules. Aidan had a great time and was really happy. I suggested that they play again next week and that he maybe invite Aaron (another friend from class) over to play before we go back to PA.

Ian's going to another birthday party tomorrow, Hector's. He is really excited.

I'm so glad all the kids have made friends!
