Bowling

On Sunday, Nathan, Claire and I met Tracy and Dawson at the bowling alley. It was so much fun watching Claire. She'd never been bowling before. She had a blast! We all had a great time. For quite some time, Tracy and I have boycotted the bowling alley. It irks me that they could care less about anything other than league bowling. Trying to find a time to bowl is very hard. I realize that they cater to the league people, but what about those of us that would show up every Sunday just for some fun time with our families? Why don't we matter? Whatever!

Dawson didn't know that we were coming. We just kind of showed up out of the blue. He was very excited and it was cute.

As I said, Claire had never been bowling before, so she was beyond excited. Lucky for her, she had two 5 year old helpers. Here she is after getting the ball to the pins for the first time. She was making sure Dawson was cheering for her. Nathan's turn. Notice he's still wearing his hand warmer? Yeah. He'd wear it to bed if it were allowed. He wants to wear it to school too.Here is Dawson waiting to see how many pins he knocked down. They had so much fun.
How cute is this!!!

After the kids bowled, they played Foosball. I don't enjoy playing this game, but the kids sure had a good time.

    don't even get me started about our bowling alley! we've been out there multiple times only to be 'turned away' because of league play. and over 1/2 the lanes aren't in use...

    looks like you had a great time.

    I think the guy was getting mad when I called THREE times to make sure they had open bowling. We both know that calling doesn't even matter sometimes. We've called and went and STILL they'd say...SORRY, no bowling today.

    Whatever.

    We had so much fun. Dawson has already asked if we are going next Sunday!!

    Thanks for taking pictures!!
