Day 2 of "Colin weekend" was great. Once again, Maggie stayed with Meemaw at the house and didn't miss us for a second.
We had 2 things planned for Sunday: Peter's baptism and my company work party.
We headed off to 10 am mass, and then the baptism was immediately afterwards. Peter didn't so much like the holy water on him, but overall he did great.
Colin was fascinated with the baby, he probably doesn't even remember when Maggie was that little. Suddenly, she seems to be quite large in comparison!
After the baptism, we headed off to Pizza Shoppe to celebrate.
The very yummy cake...Colin and Olivia took many swipes at the frosting after it was served.
Sugar Rush!!
Suzanne's Dad is an amazing balloon artist! He made Colin a Curious George balloon, which he is still carrying around with him all over the house. It was perfect!
We made a quick exit from the party to head to my company's holiday work party. This year they held it at a place called Power Play, which is a HUGE arcade/bowling alley/go-carts/laser tag/etc place.
We knew Colin would have so much fun there, and we really wanted him to go bowling with us.
So, we decided to for-go the nap for the afternoon, and headed off to Power Play.
We weren't sure how he would do, but he really did great (except for a minor meltdown on the way home).

Can you see the excitement?!
The setup was perfect. It wasn't busy at all. We ended up playing the majority of the game with empty lanes on either side of us. Colin let us help him one time, then decided he wanted to do it all by himself. He carried up his 6 lb ball without problems, and was able to throw it down the lane fairly well, too.
Only one time did the ball stop halfway down the lane.
And...he didn't crush his toes.
So strong!
Come on ball!! Knock down those pins!!
Colin wanted to put his fingers in the ball like Mommy & Daddy.
Notice he has his thumb of one hand in the hole, and then 2 fingers of his other hand in the other holes.
So cute!
After bowling we hit Skee ball, then played some basketball shot games, went on a Tilt-A-Whirl (which turned out to be a pretty intense ride), then stayed in the Tot Area with a bouncy house and a choo-choo train.

Weeeeeeeeeee!
So much fun!
After his previously mentioned meltdown on the way home, we changed into our pajamas and watched a little Toy Story before bed.
We had a lot of great times with Colin this weekend.
