Had a good weekend. Went bowling with some friends from church and it was lots of fun. Then I went to a haunted house with my mom, John (her new husband), Kristen (John's sister), and Kevin (her husband). It was a lot of fun and very well done. I didn't find it very scary, but then I hardly ever do with these things. My mom was really scared, though, and I had to help John get her through about half of it.
