Bowling Adventure

We have decided to take at least one pre-planned field trip every weekend.  Although we have done a lot of really fun and interesting things since we have been living here, we were beginning to feel like many of our weekends were spent wandering around Chelsea (our neighborhood) and frequenting various restaurants on the King's Road (our high street).  And, while we live in a lovely neighborhood, we want to be sure that we are seeing and experiencing everything that London has to offer.

So, thanks to Nathan's recent obsession with the bowling app on the iPhone and and iPad (thanks Aunt Deanna for introducing us to that one :), Chris thought it would be fun to take him bowling in real life.  Not exactly an educational or historic field trip, but Nathan had a blast and is repeatedly asking to go back again!  We went to Namco Funscape--a big arcade with lots of games, bumper cars, and some bowling lanes.  It was actually a perfect adventure for the gloomy Sunday we had last weekend.  Not surprisingly, Nathan loved all of the "sports" games--bowling, football (soccer), golf, basketball, skee ball, etc.

In other news, we found a new music class today (8 months into being a stay-at-home mom and it still cracks me up that this is very exciting news in my life :)  The music class we were taking at the kids' club just wasn't cutting it.  We were in a fantastic music class in Pasadena and the one at the kids' club was a bit of a mess.  So, we tried out a new one today and we both loved it!  We now have a Wednesday morning activity to keep us busy :)

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Oh, and wishing my mom a very happy birthday (her birthday was yesterday).  Wish we were there to celebrate with you!

Here are some pictures and videos from our little family fun day last weekend.
