Bri turned 17 today and so, we turned it into a Bri day, to have fun and enjoy. As a result, she had a great 17th birthday.
First, we woke up and treated her to breakfast. She decided she wanted Nick and Andy's - always a good choice. I was happy to get it and realized that one of my favorite waitresses from Texas Roadhouse and Reds Tavern works there now.
Then, we watched the pilot episode of Growing Pains, which was shocking to the kids. Both Bri and Kiff did not like the version of Jason in that episode. He was a lot gruffer - and wanted his wife a lot - which they were unfamiliar with.
After that, we went to Kings Bowling, where we bowled, had some nachoes and chix fingers, and played arcade games. It is ten pin bowling, so we had to use the big balls. It took some time, but after a while, we got the knack of it (Kiff did put up the bumpers for himself, Bri, and Emmie). I actually found out this works better for me than candlepin. I got two strikes - something I rarely get - and a spare. I even bowled an 85 through 7 strings on the second round (it stopped there because we ran out of time).
We came home and did our scavenger hunt as well as present opening. Emmie realized she didn't do a bad job getting gifts (after lamenting that she had for three days).
For supper, we went to Double Bull, which has some good food. Then, we came home and had cake. Jack came over to join us for that.
All and all, a very happy 17th birthday!!!
