( Sorry this picture is so small! : ( )
Yesterday was Mahlon's last day of school and was supposed to be my last day of work, but I ended up having the whole week off, which was nice, but to celebrate we decided to take a day and have some fun. We decided to go to a movie, becuase on the weekends you can go before noon and only pay $5 a ticket. We planned on seeing The new Chronicls of Narnia movie but when we got there the ticket guy said there were still a lot of tickets available for the new Indiana Jones movie. We are both huge Indiana fans so we opted to see this instead, we just figured it would have been packed, but since it wasn't we jumped at the chance. We didn't have to wait in line, and we got front row seats (I guess not a lot of people could skip school/work to see Indiana Jones at 10:45am-even if it was opening weekend) Anyway, I thought it was good (I only missed a little bit to change a diaper and walk with a crying baby). The first three are great, Classics, so it's hard to compare, but I really enjoyed this new one. Plus, it was fun to see something new from Dr. Jones, although there were some pretty unbelievable parts, I'd still give it a thumbs up. Too bad Harison Ford is so much older though, I'm only in love with the younger, more dashing Indiana.
Anyway, after the movie we grabbed some Subway for lunch and headed to the bowling alley for some .99/game fun- quite a deal! We were kicking ourselves for not bringing a camera (I know Carrie, I need to take a camera EVERYWHERE!) Madison was being so cute for awhile, clapping for us and giving High fives, but later got pretty cranky as the effects of a shortened nap kicked in, but we still had a great time. I am absolutely the worst bowler, and got worse the more I played my scores: 86, 71, 65 (too bad its not a lowest score wins game). Mahlon however did much better, getting a 171 on his last game! His score was generally about twice what mine was, all the way to the end. Oh, well.
It was so fun to spend some time together as a family, a much needed break from the stress of school and work. I wish everyday could be like this!

harrison ford seriously is a fox.... at least more so in those first movies. i've never seen him in a movie i didn't like. the fugitive? air force one? (the tv version) :) i can't wait to see it. my parents went to see it yesterday too, and my dad even dressed up as dr. jones. hilarious!
What a fun day! I haven't gotten into the whole Indiana Jones thing, but I love to bowl. I didn't know they had .99/game. Is that an early bird special?
Ok, what movie theater did you go to for $5? We've really been wanting to see that movie. And don't worry, I would make you look great at bowling. My highest ever I am embarassed to say is 72!
Did Mahlon get a teaching job?
We just went and saw it too. I liked it but I'm with you on the younger Dr. Jones, way more attractive! Fun stuff!
Beginning to middle, great! Middle to end, not so much! That's my take on the new Indy movie.
We miss you guys!
