Alli's Bday and Family Visit Part 1

This past weekend my mom and Bri came in town to visit and help us celebrate Alli's birthday. We originally had plans to go to the State Fair but since the weather was rainy and we didn't have quite as many attendees as planned we decided to just spend the day visiting at our house with some of the fam before heading to Main Event to carry on with the party. My Aunt Lisa was also in town visiting so it was great to be able to spend time with her as well.

(there was too much action going on for little Miss to look at the camera)

Ava was in hog heaven walking around and looking at all the lights and hearing the loud noises from all the games.

We played lots of games while we were waiting for our turn to bowl. Alli and Bri rode a rollercoaster....


Alli and I put out fires...

and posed for a picture with Greg (Alli's boyfriend)

Ava and I rode a motorcyle...

Ava finally got ahold of a balloon. She had been eyeing them all over Main Event ever since we arrived.

She wanted to shoot hoops like Greg, Alli, and Daddy

Ava and Bri were excellent cheerleaders during our bowling game.

I think the highlight of our time at Main Event was the bowling. We all had a blast and to top it all off I was the high scorer on our second round!! I bowled a 60 or 70 something the first game and then a little over a 100 the second. It was a fluke....just like how Mikey and I, along with our friends Ryan and Paige, won the intermural bowling league at A&M.

After Main Event we came back to the house for pizza, birthday cake, and games!

Happy Birthday little sis! I love ya! Sorry your cake was a dud! How do I always manage to screw up baking???

Before my mom and Bri left Bri and Ava were able to squeeze in some sidewalk chalk time

and play a painting game on Bri's ipod. I wish I had an ipod just for that! It held her attention SO long!

The bday and family fun continued after my mom and Bri left on Monday. Part 2 coming soon!
