Let's Bowl!

This past weekend, my in-laws came into town for a long visit. We had lots of fun playing, bike riding, and on their last day here, bowling! We had never taken the kids bowling before, but thought it would be a great day of family fun. We headed to a town just north of us where they offer bumpers/ramps/5 lb. balls for kids under 10 years of age. It was a lot of fun. Both kids got into it and bowled most of the game. Toward the end of our pre-paid hour, they got hungry and had lunch while the rest of us finished the game out. We were glad we decided to do it and were all smiles as we left.

Max getting ready to bowl his first frame!

That ball was bigger than his little head!

Ready, Set, Push!

Not too bad for his second attempt in the first frame!

Next up...Cate!

And off her ball goes!

Anxiously waiting to see how she did!

I didn't know they made bowling shoes that little!

Pop-Pop's great form (he won by the way)!

Cate was fascinated by the air blowers!

The final score!
(we didn't get all 10 frames finished)

All smiles for an afternoon of fun!

Bowling is a lot of fun and quite a workout. It always cracks me up when the kids pick up a bowling ball. Whatever happened to duckpin bowling? Glad you all had a great time.

What fun and some great pics! We love bowling and got the Wii just so we could do it for "free." In fact, Stephen and I took that class together in college!
