2008 Day of Thanks - BOWLING!

Exercise is a dirty word. Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate. ~Author Unknown
Our Thanksgiving exercise - Bowling!
We started a new tradition (Tom says a tradition in the Hansen house is that we are always starting new traditions, which I will agree with him) I am pretty sure this one will stick! Because it was a blast! After dinner cleaned up and piled in the cars to go bowling. It was so much better than sitting around bloated and arguing over which Christmas movie to watch.

SO MUCH BETTER!
A week away from being 4 - Preston got to bowl! And he was very proud of himself:

The non-competition type who just like to have fun:


The people watchers:

The slurpee ICEE drinker:


The serious competitive bowlers (my dad should be in this picture, but he isn't.):


The winner: Hannah (Round 2)


See you next Thanksgiving bowling!



Wesley had his fun before we left the house - Hannah pushing him around on the rocket. Then he was confined to the stroller or grandma.

What a memorable tradition! Do you go before the big feast or after to work off the calories from all of the pie?

We used to do that every year with my cousins and extended family after dinner. Then we'd go back and have pie. It was so much fun! I want to start that tradition again, but it didn't work out this year. It's such a fun family activity!
