Another day of adventure

I started my day with my annual physical check-up at 8:00 am. Everything went good. From there I headed to Diva Nails to get a pedicure so my toes look nice for Easter. I was relaxing and enjoying the pampering when in walked a big Hawaiian man. He said he wanted a pedicure and manicure. He was in the chair right next to me. I overheard he was a roofer which he does in slippers (flip flops) which is why his feet were so dirty. We chatted about a few things. The girl working on his feet was amazing, they didn't even look like the same feet! She just cleaned his nails and feet and cut his nails, no polish or anything. Before he went to get his manicure he turned to me and said "When you get home I want you to tell your husband thank-you". I was confused but he said "I'm serious. He's in the military right? (He must have overheard some of my conversation too) I'm a Vietnam Vet and I want you to thank him for protecting me and my family". It was very nice and Darrick really appreciated it.

This afternoon we took the boys to the Hickam Airforce Base Bowling Center. It was not very busy which was nice. The boys were so excited. First we got their shoes and they thought they were so cool-Micah even asked if we got to keep them when we are done. We had bumpers put up on our lane to help the boys. The boys did really good and in the first game Jacob got a few spares and in the second game Micah bowled a Strike! He was so proud of himself. Micah's high score was 91 and Jacob's was 84. We only had one mishap when Jacob crossed the line, which I warned them not to do, and he fell on his back. Darrick and I couldn't hold back our laughter. When he got up he said "I hurt my bum!" We also got a kick out of watching the speed of their balls down the lane. On the score screen it listed mph. Micah's high was 7 mph and Jacob's low was so slow going down the lane it did not even register a speed!
