Spring break 2013-BYU bowling

We went north for Spring Break to attend Holly's mission farewell and also to meet Lindsey in person. Skype only sort of counts...
We wanted to do some fun things on our vacation and we also wanted Lindsey to think we did more than work and sit around, that we actually like to have fun as a family. LOL
So we met up and headed to the Wilkinson Center on campus at BYU for lunch and some bowling. 
First we went to the Cougareat for lunch. There are lots of options there and everyone got what they wanted to. I think some of my kids have eyes that are MUCH bigger than their stomachs! 
My crew walking into the Wilkinson Center....

Checking out the options....
The regular Welch discussion that has to take place before we can DO anything.....
Cambria and Sadie are so excited about it.

The girls' didn't want anyone to think they were with us, I think....
I somehow don't think Charles is going to get outside all that food!
What a cute little face peering over the table. He ate next to nothing.
Doesn't stop him from being a happy little guy.
(Took no pictures of the big kids cause I didn't want Lindsey to think I was a stalker nutcase)
Then we made our way downstairs to bowl a couple of games. We put Mom and Dad and the younger kids on one lane and the older kids on the other. It was fun to watch the little boys try to get that ball down the lane. It would sllllooowwwlllyyy roll towards the pins. Unfortunately we were on a lane that did not have bumpers and none were available, so the low scores for the boys show that.
It was fun to meet Lindsey for the first time and watch how she and Jordan interacted, as well as with all the kids there. She's a fun, quirky girl and will fit fine into our 'abnormal' family.
