Bowling Mania

This past Monday, since Sophie was out of school and Matt's parents were in town, we thought it would be fun to go bowling. A nearby bowling alley has special lanes for kids that are shorter in length and they use smaller balls. They can also put up the gutter guards. I have been wanting to take the girls and try it but I wanted to go when someone else could go and help me. Mimi bowls in a league so I thought she would enjoy going with us and teaching Sophie how to bowl. Well, we all had a great time! At first, Abbie just wanted to monitor the bowling balls at the ball return but then, she wanted to be a more active participant and actually drop the ball herself. That made it interesting. The adults all bowled in the first game so we let Abbie have a turn too. I think Sophie really enjoyed her first time bowling! We'll definitely have to go again soon though you have to keep a close eye on Abbie.

The night before, the adults had also tried Wii bowling which was a lot of fun too!

After we bowled that morning, Mimi & Paw-paw Tom had to eat lunch and head to the airport for their flight back to VA.
