Every once in a while Benjamin's school has "Spirit Night" at various places. Generally they are held at local restaurants and a portion of the proceeds of that night go to the school. We don't go often, but the one we have gone to twice now is Family Night at the local bowling alley. This place is really, really expensive, but on school nights it is only $8 for two games of bowling and shoes. This particular night it also came with 18 holes of indoor glow golf. Benjamin has been begging to do the mini-golf, so we decided to invite some friends and go out on an actual Friday night!! By the time we finished bowling, it was already coming up on 8:00 and so our friends headed out to put the baby down, and I was fine with that myself but to appease Benjamin we headed into glow golf. It was kind of neat, and oddly the pictures I took eliminated the black lights and paint and the animals came out looking really cool. Avery started getting pretty tired and it was really crowded, so we rushed through and got out as fast we (I) could. It was a fun night. The best part was the silent auction. I'm not one to usually participate in these, but when I looked no one was bidding on the BJ's (like Sam's Club) memberships and mine is up on the 31st, so I bid just $10 on a $35 membership, and I won!!! I love saving money.....

I told the kids to put their heads together for a picture, but Benjamin got a bit rushed and they

bonked heads. I would have put money on Avery being more hard-headed...
