At the beginning of April, the weather was improving slowly and it seemed that spring was finally here. We ventured out onto the deck and pulled out the Mickey Mouse bowling set Owen received as a birthday gift last year from Uncle Derek, AuntyColette and Zoe. We set it up on the deck and Owen and Brandon took turns and tried their best to knock down the pins. Apparently our deck is a little sloped — just enough that the bowling ball rolls away from the pins. Owen got a little frustrated but kept at it and was determined to knock those pins down. Mom suggested that we could move the bowling pins over so that when we roll the ball, the ball would roll in the direction of the pins. Boy was that a bad idea — whatever was Mommy thinking?! Owen and Brandon played for quite some time, then gave up with the ball and started to knock the pins down with their legs, feet, butt, belly, really any part of their body that they could use to knock the pins down. It was quite hilarious! Of course we can’t forget about Kosmo. Kosmo found a quiet spot on the deck and just laid out and enjoyed the fresh air. Playing on the deck, the sound of children laughing and playing, watching the ducks landing in the water and the smell of the outdoors….I love springtime!
