Shoot Me!: 5

Forever In Blue Jeans
Another great meme brought to us by Carin at Forever In Blue Jeans. Every Thursday post a picture of you with a child, spouse, friend or even by yourself. If you are thinking this challenge is too hard, then this is exactly the challenge you need. Do you have thousands of pictures and you are in none of them? How is that good to your children or loved ones? It’s time you got in the picture, you’ll be glad you did!

One of my best friends, Shauna (from Life With Boys), and her family came to visit this past weekend. We made plans to go to Canton Saturday but it was way too cold for that so we came up with "Plan B" - the local bowling alley. Something to do indoors, would let all the boys get their energy out, and the adults could have fun too. None of us (adults) have been bowling in 15'ish years and the boys had never been so this promised to be entertaining if nothing else. As fate would have it, there were so many people at the alley we couldn't get a lane and it would be several hours before one came open for us. So..."Plan C" - (drum roll please) - indoor playground at Chick-fil-a!! At least we didn't have to go to McDonalds - we do have standards! You know you live in an exciting town when the bowling alley is to full and you have to resort to a fast food joint as your entertainment! Oh well, the boys thought it was great getting to play on the indoor equipment and the adults got to visit uninterrupted! If the kids were happy, the parents were happy. All's well that ends well - right?? ;)

What would our life's be like if we didn't have best friends? I can't imagine, what a sweet picture of you and yours!

We're too old for playplaces now. I can honestly say I haven't missed them at all. But I'll also honestly say, they were a lifesaver back in the day when we had kids that age. How fun that your best friend is also a blogger!

Fun picture! you are lucky to have an indoor playground. I wish we had such a thing here. I would love plan c sometimes. :) We do have a bowling alley so can't complain about that. Have a great weekend!

Those play places have saved my sanity on more than one occasion. Glad you found a way to have fun with a girlfriend while the kids were safely amused! Cute picture!

Dear Chickie Baby (with standards),
What fun! Thank goodness for fast-food playgrounds. I think they need their own fan-club!

We've taken the kids bowling a couple times and they loved it. I loved watching them heft the lightest bowling balls in the place and still almost drop them on the "precious" floor! Made my day everytime. Hmmmm... that reminds me, I think I have some pretty cute pictures of the last time we went, I should dig those out.
Love,
Bowled over in NE

We were planning on going to Canton too, but cancelled the trip b/c we decided as cold as Austin was, it was a lot warmer than the Dallas area was going to be! =)

Sounds like you have fun. Seems like we're always on Plan C...or D lately.
