The kids were off from school today and Jeff is on vacation for the rest of the year so we had a restful morning, went grocery shopping then we went bowling. They didn't have a ball with holes big enough for my fingers but we all had fun just the same.

It is the first day of Winter so skiing was on the schedule. Jeff and Bailey went up to Ski Roundtop in the morning so Bailey could work out with his ski team.
