As if one day of bowling wasn't enough

Declan has been reading a series of books by Dan Gutman about a boy who can travel back in time via baseball cards.  He travels back to see Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Roberto Clemente, etc.  So he has developed an interest in baseball cards.  We made a trip to the Cleveland Indians team shop to get some cards.  This picture is special because of the Boston reference.  We have cousins in Boston so Declan was thrilled to send this shot!

 And the kids wanted to bowl some more.  This time we took Grandpa and Connor with us and the adults bowled.








 Just had to demonstrate her fashion sense!

After bowling we headed to the park across the street.  New parks always hold such a fascination.  My kids were nice enough to dry off the slides for other kids since it had been raining.  Not sure the other parents appreciated my, "Sure, you can go down it even though there is a puddle at the bottom.  Way more fun!"



A trip to my parents' home always results in look through photo albums.  My dad lived in Heidelberg post WWII so it was cool to find these pictures.  The Heidelberg military post has closed so I am a bit sentimental about my high school no longer being there.


And no visit to Lakewood is complete without a visit to Malley's, our favorite ice cream and chocolate place.
