Bowling

This afternoon we thought it would be a fun to take the boys bowling. For part of the reading summer program they each earned a free game of bowling. The afternoon was perfect because there was just one other person bowling.

 The boys were so excited to try it out. After they got there special bowling shoes on and picked out their ball they were read to go. We had a little problem with the lane at the very beginning but after that we were having some fun.

 With the boys being so young we had the bumpers put up so there were no gutter balls. They also gave us this little bowling ball slide, so the boys could push the ball down on the "slide". This way they didn't have to worry about throwing the ball down the lane. It worked out really nice for the boys. They were probably the most excited/fascinated with watching the balls come back from the lane.

 It took them a few frames to figure out that if you don't knock them all down the first time you had a second chance.


 They would both stand and watch and will their ball to hit all the pins.

Amazing the boys did really well. As you can see Eric and I do not really bowl, mostly because I am not suppose to. So this was the first time that Eric and I have bowled as well since we have been together. With the help of the bumper and the "slide" Sup was our winner!
