We took a very spontaneous overnight trip to Nashville, TN to see David's parents who were there visiting David's first cousin, Daemon, his wife, Melissa, and their 6 week old baby, Cameron. David's Aunt Debbie and Uncle Dale were there, too. We enjoyed a nice visit with some relatives we don't see very often (Aunt Debbie and Uncle Dale live in China right now!), and the kids enjoyed the adventure of being in a new place for the night. 
While we were in Nashville, we "played" at Opry Mills. The kids love being at the mall here, so we figured they would enjoy this one, too! Indeed, they did. We rode the "mall rides," visited the sting ray bay, rode the carousel, and took the kids bowling for the very first time. Mackenzie had been asking to bowl for several months now; she enjoyed it, but got bored before the game was over! Above are two pics of her styling in her bowling shoes! The coloring in the pictures turned out funny because this bowling alley has lots of black lights. However, they turned out well enough to give you an idea of what the kids looked like while bowling!
Believe it or not, even Josiah could carry the 6 lb bowling ball by himself! Speaking of by himself...he just mastered the entire alphabet A to Z without needing prompts anymore. Josiah also bored of bowling before the game was finished! We had fun anyway, and I had to document that "first!"

Opry Mills is always a fun place to visit. It's definitely not your typical mall. I'm glad your kids had fun. I'm impressed with their bowling skills.
Opry Mills is not your average mall is it? I love going there, but is always a whole day trip. Glad the kids had fun bowling. We bowled last summer and Will loved it.
Glad to see the pics of the kids bowlings. Sam has his heart set on a "bowling birthday" this year, which is not too far off. If Josiah can do it, I'm not worried about Sam. He is DYING to go!
What a fun spontaneous trip! Laura also enjoys bowling!
What fun-great pictures!
