Bowling

So we decided to try a new adventure this morning and take the kids BOWLING. I wasn't too sure how this would go. You mix two very active little ones with other very active little ones, heavy bowling balls, dangerous equipment, and slippery floors, to me it sounded like a recipe for disaster. First you have to check out these very cute shoes...



Well as cute as a bowling shoes can get. The kids were so excited to get started and surprisingly had good strength to get the ball down the lane.









An older gentlemen that was bowling a few lanes down from us got a kick out of watching the kids heave these balls down the lanes that were almost as big as they are.

Chase's friend Lucy was having trouble getting the ball all the way down the lane so we got a little ramp help that made it more fun for the really little ones and the big ones too...


It took us a solid hour to get through one game and that was after we finally gave up trying to keep the kids from bowling out of turn. It worked much better just letting them get up and roll the ball when they wanted to. Chase lost interest about the 8th frame but only because there was a huge arcade in the bowling ally. I don't think we have any bowling prodigies on our hands but I think we might have found a fun family activity from time to time.
