Earlier this summer I took the kids to the kid expo at the SouthTowne Expo Center. While we were there, there was a Fat Cats booth, and the kids spun a wheel and won a "free" game of bowling. They have been asking when we could go ever since. But the idea of heavy balls, and swinging arms with 3 wild kids, did not have me too excited, so we were waiting for a day Dad could go too. Two sets of arms is better than one for controlling the chaos. Since Brett rarely has a Monday off, we thought we would take advantage of Free bowling for Family Night. Our "free" game ended up being kind of pricey when we got there and realized that it did not include shoe rentals, and adults are expensive. But we shelled out the dough, and had a great time!
Well, most of us. Derrick was an ornery boy, and so he spent most of the time hiding behind my camera case, and whining, so that meant he spent most of the time in my arms dancing around like a fool to the pop music that was playing in the alley.
Dillan managed to bowl a strike once, and a number of spares, we can thank the bumpers, but he was pretty proud!
Lexi struggled to hold the heavy balls, but kept saying how she looked good so it didn't matter. Haha this is her model pose!
Brett and I were bowling a little more competitively, and I was beating him most of the game, despite the fact that I let Derrick bowl a few of my turns (he was so impatient). I was head all the way to the tenth frame, and Brett ended up beating me by one pin. Just my luck. But that was okay because we said, "Winner buys dinner" (as if that matters). So we took the kids to DQ, and then dropped them at the grandparents and went out for sushi. Yum! Fun night for all.
