Bowling

Lily and I went bowling tonight with Patti, Emily and Bryan at the swanky new alley that opened nearby. It was lot of fun (I didn't get to bowl, although I probably could have). Lily LOVED it. It was actually her first time ever bowling. We've talked about it and even tried to take her before (too long a wait, so we left), and finally today she got to bowl! She picked it up immediately and I only had to help her for her first roll. She knew when it was her turn, got her own ball every time and just bowled -- I just sat back and drank my icee! She even put her fingers in the holes properly -- even though she was just pushing the ball down the lane. :) The girls used the bumpers, so gutter balls were out which was nice. It took about 20 minutes for their balls to make it all the way down the lane (I am exaggerating -- but only a little), but they got SO excited when they knocked down pins. I was cute to watch them jumping around and high fiveing.

Rolling the ball down the lane.

She'd wait and watch it go.

By the end of the second game she got tired and used the kiddie ball thing that helps them get the ball down the lane. Emily used it through out both games, but Lily refused until the end. I was proud of her for not "cheating" most of the time.

Bowling Buddies.

I loved her little shoes. :)

Lily got 45 her first game and a 72 her second game! I tried to take a photo of the score sheet, but since Bryan only got a 75 he was embarrassed and erased it before I could document it forever.
