Bowling

On Monday night for FHE we went bowling with our friends the Copelands. We had so much fun. If you have never had the chance to take a two and four year old bowling, you should do it because you will just laugh the whole time. The kids absolutely loved it, and had so much fun. We only had to have the nice guy come and get one ball unstuck. We hadn't started, but Owen was ready to so he walked up to the lane without the bumpers, and dropped his ball. We were all getting ready, so we didn't notice until he started crying that he couldn't get his ball. It was really quite funny! After that they kids all understood the need to take turns. Chad did great as usual, but I was to busy watching kids, taking care of a baby, and taking pictures to do that great (at least that is my excuse!).
The Copeland and Clayson kids ready to bowl.
Claire loved bowling. She did it all by herself, and with the bumpers up, got a score of 70. She would push the ball has hard as she could, but it would still take quite awhile to get down the lane.
Claire was so excited that she hit something!
I did good!!
Owen loved his bowling ball. He would just sit and hold it. When it was his turn, he knew exactly which ball was his, he would march over, pick it up and wait for his dad to come and help him. He did a great job. Don't you love the shoes! I couldn't believe that they had them in his size.
Owen would not hold still for a moment. I think this picture gives you a pretty good idea of what he was like! He was actually quite funny and very supportive of everyone. He would clap whenever anyone bowled. He ended up getting a 73, so he beat his sister, and I think he beat me. I was doing terrible!!
Grant was so great the whole time!! He was just handed from person to person but loved the atmosphere of the bowling alley. He didn't get grumpy until right before it was time to go home!
