Daddy/Daughter Day of Disaster

Bryan is in a bowling league that bowls every Friday night in the fall and winter months. This Friday he accidentally left his debit card at the bowling alley and needed to go and get it on Saturday morning. What started as a quick and annoying errand quickly escalated into a great idea for a Daddy/Daughter Day. We thought it would be fun for Lilly to go with Bryan and then bowl a game. Even better, he invited good friends Nathan and Avery to join them.
Then the whole plan seemed to crumble.
Disaster One: At the last minute Lilly changed her mind and didn't want to go. She cried and needed quite a bit of persuasion to get into the car, this is when Bryan mentioned the bowling shoes. She was back on board.
Disaster Two: On the way to the bowling alley Bryan heard from Nathan, who was already there, the bowling alley was closed due to a power outage.
Disaster Three: It was decided, after a consultation with the moms, that the outing would be moved to Chuck E Cheese. Mom approval was required due to the disgusting nature of Chuck E Cheese and the number of germs that two little girls can pick up there and bring back to their baby brothers.
The disasters were put on hold for a couple of hours while everyone had a great time at Chuck E Cheese. The girls played, the dads won brownie points and the moms and baby brothers relaxed at home.

Disaster Four: Avery falls flat on her nose. Bryan says her little nose instantly began to blacken up and latest reports from her parents are that the nose is still bruised.
Disaster Five:Leaving. When told that it was time to go Lilly collapsed on the floor in tears and Avery stopped where she stood and sobbed. Then Bryan got stuck in traffic with a screaming toddler. She was asleep when he pulled in the driveway.
Disaster Six: Lilly is now sick. I don't think she caught something at Chuck E Cheese, Bryan insists that she sneezed while there. Ironic isn't it? I don't want Lilly at Chuck E Cheese because people take sick kids there...people like Bryan and I.
No disaster here, but I thought some of you might like to see Jack with his eyes open. This is very rare as he sleeps soundly and in his bed most of the time. The only problem is that this picture was taken at about 11pm.
