Week 3

Well we are offically past our half way mark for our vacation and it is so bittersweet. I for one can not believe how quickly time has passed for us, but I am so grateful to those family members that have made it extra special. This past week my Sister Catherine came over from San fransico and spent the weekend with us. we ladies enjoyed a late night swim kid free and were just able to talk about stuff and life, pretty sure this experience has never happened, but it was awesome. On Saturday My Dad, Mom, Catherine, Joesph, Myself and the kids went to the theaters to see Cars 2, which was adorable, a must see. Then on Tuesday we went up to Ione to celebrate joesph 6 birthday. We went bowling and my sister pearl was able to be there with her two adorable kiddios, and then headed back down the hill for cake and presents. I really enjoyed getting to bound with my neice and nephew they are growing to fast, every summer they are whole new people. On Thursday we went to a concernt in the park that was sponsered by the city of Lodi, The kids had a good time al dressed in there red white and blues. Skylers favorite part was the presentation of the flags because they were holding real swords...lol what a boy. To top the evening off we had some icecream and headed home to hit the hay. This upcoming week is going to be full of fun adventures we are looking forward to the holiday and my grandmas 86th birthday I hope these pictures find you well

Love,
Scott, Leona, Star, Bree and Skyler Thackeray

Here we are at the bowling ally, we have Skyler, Star, Joesph, Martin and Bree

Reina felt her job was to organize the bowling balls...we only almost crushed one foot lol

brees spare, when she bowls she stands there almost willing the ball to do her will

Birthday Boy Joesph scored an 88 tieing for 1st with Star who also bowled an 88 wait a go!!!

This picture makes Martin look like he knew what he was doing but the more I look at it the more I think he is about to be drug down the ally with his ball lol.

Star loves to bowl shes actually finally getting it down.

Skyler takes everything incredibly seriously when it comes to sports he struggled because even the lightest ball is a little to heavy and he insisted to bowl right handed but he did pretty good and about half way through the game he relaxed and allowed himself to just have fun.
