Spring Break with Donovan

This week is the kids' spring break. Donovan wanted to spend part of the week with us! We have been doing a lot of fun things... we went mini-golfing (although it was black-light mini-golf, so I didn't get any pictures), bowling, and the boys competed in go-cart racing.

Donovan selecting his bowling ball... I stick with a 9 or 10 pound ball. Initially Donovan picked 11 pounds, and Josh 14 pounds, but they switched half-way through our game. :)

The surprised face when pins actually fall down!

My highest bowling score... EVER!!! 131. I'm so proud. :)

Lunch - Donovan loves crab, and orders it as often as possible when we go out.

Side note: Donovan's hair reminds me of Taylor's through most of high school. :)

Preparing for the race - all participants have to wear the black head piece. He reminds me of a knight, with the headgear on for protection in this picture.

Josh, ready to roll out

Josh took the race! He completed the most laps, and had the fastest lap time.

Josh and Donovan, post-race... notice that there isn't much height difference anymore. There isn't much shoe-size difference either; when we rented the shoes at the bowling alley, both Josh and Donovan rented the same size.

Donovan, still a little shaky (in a good way) after the race. Hair sticking up, black smudges on his face, and the smirk of a happy teenager. :)

It's been fun so far - and we're glad that Donovan is sticking around a few more days!
