Mini Golf/Dancing/DQ

Family night was Friday night at our house. We were able to accomplish a round of minature golf, dance dance revolution (if you havent tried it you need too:), and a trip to Dairy Queen. There was lots of laughter and of course new experiences for Xenia.

Girls just want to have fun! (and they were)

After Family Friday night Ken and Theresa headed out of town on Saturday for golfing and shopping with Jeff and Christy. Can you guess who was golfing and who was shopping? Now I will tell you that my husband (as wonderful as he is) did not think this trip through and the only thing on his mind was golf. Buffalo (first day of golf/Saturday)is very small and it is a holiday weekend so do you think any of the fun stores were open....NO! Not even the bakery he told to go eat lunch at. I do have to say the evening was fun and was spent in Sheridan with a nice dinner and even some small bar hopping. (I felt very old). Sunday consisted of another round of golf in Sheridan at a very fancy golf course, this leaving Christy and I to do more shopping....NOT. It is Sunday and a holiday weekend can you guess what was open? Thats right......NOTHING! Oh except JC penny and if you have seen one of those you have seen them all. It was nice to have good company and we got a nice kick out of it. The downfall was I was sick on Sunday so I was not the better part of the good company (no it was not from drinking to much:) Another story another time.

As the adults were off by themselves the children were hanging out with the Harshman family and if you know them at all you will know that the Anthony kids (including Xenia) were not bored. Saturday Xenia was introduced to High school football and good ole American teenage fun. She says she did not understand the game but had a good time. I explained to her that I did not understand football either and if you just pick a color to follow its all good. Sunday the Harshman family took them all to the movies. I think they were exhausted by the end of the weekend.

Harshman fun....a little to much fun and Mc Donalds can go a long way:)

High School Football with Harshmans is always fun...who said you had to understand football dynamics?

Xenia is doing great in school and communication. She is willing to try anything and will be honest if she was not interested. I love it! She has tried Wednesday youth group at church and drumming circle with Liz. Please be sure to read her blog as she updates it with all her opinions and pictures. You will find the link to left of my blogs called Adventures in American just click and read. I will try not to duplicate pictures but if I do sorry:)

Labor day weekend was a joy to explain to Xenia, she does understand the "labor" day holiday when everyone works anyway. I explained that none of us really understand either and just enjoy the day off from school.
