Danielle's First Visit

My oldest niece decided to go for a week away from TC before she heads away to college. So half that week was spent over my house with 2 of my other nieces. They arrived Thursday with my sister (their mom), husband and other kids in tow. My sister was scared for her, since this was her first real drive in big city traffic. After my sister left we all headed to the grocery store to pick up supplies for the weekend. During this process Alex was attempting to direct activities and dinner, but much to the dislike of Danielle. Not sure if this was because Danielle is used to telling the other two what to do or what. But I stayed out of it. After dinner we all went bowling and they were disappointed that no bumpers were available. Since they are all new to bowling they were hoping for this feature. Bowling ended at 10 minutes to 10 when I suggested ice cream but with only 10 minutes to closing we all rushed out and headed there just in time. Friday got started pretty late as most of them were all ready by around 11am. This was the norm for the weekend. It doesn't help when planning to go places though. But I don't worry about it as long as everyone has fun. We went to Dave & Busters in the morning followed by a walk at the park after that. We then watched a movie to finish off the night. Saturday we went back to the part for some kayaking. It didn't go as well as last time as our kayak didn't seem to want to go straight, but it was still a good time. We then headed to CJ Barrymores for some Go-Karts, Bungee, Laser Tag. After this we all headed to the mall where I bought Alex a new haircut for her birthday (a little early). Later that night the three of them wanted to do some modeling so we stayed up late doing that. Sunday they were up bright and early, 9am, because Alex had plans to meet some friends that afternoon. So I was left with cleaning up all the mess.
