A new adventure

We had a first this past Tuesday! I took the kids bowling with some friends. HC and JB had a blast!! I must admit I wasn't sure how it would go since I was going it alone with my two. They surprised me with their focused interest in the game. They played 9 frames of bowling without a blink. Ok, so they DID bowl down the wrong lane a few times and they DID think it was their turn after their friend had one shot, but other than that they were a dream.
HC started a little farther back than she needed but she still was an awesome bowler. HC was less than thrilled when she found out she had to wear these shoes. I managed to convince her that the shoes were special and helped her bowl. Gotta love her consideration for style. :)
My son would shout 'Score' and throw his hands in the air after the pins fell. He loved every minute of our bowling adventure! Overall, they played a decent game considering it WAS there first game ever!! Can you believe they have bowling shoes in their sizes?? I thought they were precious!!
It was a hot, gloomy and muggy day on Tuesday. We were glad to have a new indoor activity to try. Bowling was fun but I did get quite a workout since I too bowled, in squat form, 4 times per frame. I left there tired from a non-stop run, chasing down my son because he took the ball when it wasn't his turn, or if it was his turn - redirecting him to the right lane. I think we may have annoyed a few bowlers, while others had a good laugh at 5 moms taking 8 toddler/preschool aged kids bowling. I left the bowling alley realizing we now have a family outing to try. This can be a great activity for us at night so they can share this new fun with dad too. Plus, I must admit that I would like to take a break between frames every now and then!
