We told Peter yesterday afternoon that we were going to go bowling that evening. After that, all we heard were excited exclamations of "Go bowling! Go bowling! Go bowling, mommy?" Approximately every 2 minutes.
He didn't have a clue what it was, but he sure was excited about it.
I thought bringing a two year old and a two month old to the bowling alley might be an interesting combo. Containing Peter's incredible energy, breastfeeding Edmund, having them both up past bedtime...not to mention trying to bowl, which I don't have a good track record with.
But what a fabulous time. Two of our couple friends joined us. Peter was enamored with the huge, colorful balls. He even bowled a few himself.
 |
| Diana and Chad--our sweet friends! And Peter's favorite babysitters. |
 |
| Larry and Corey! Love these two. But feel free to ignore Larry's t-shirt. |
 |
| Look at that face! He was in love. |
 |
| Balls come out of that dark hole. COOLEST THING EVER. |
 |
| Cheering enthusiastically for someone's bowl...even if it was a gutter ball. |
And he roots for me when I bowl a total game score in the 50s.
Who cares about the numbers? I got to throw that giant orb of color down the shiny isle and hit the pins.
Epic.

ReplyDeleteWe took the girls bowling this summer and they loved it. It's just great how in the moment and amazing everything is for kids. Helps remind me I need to be that way too.
It looks like you guys had a blast. What a fun memory for little Peter to have :-) And how awesome that he loves his babysitters.
ReplyDeleteBowling never loses its charm. My kids love it too and they are 11, 8, & 5. We have attended several bowling birthday parties that have been lots of fun too.
ReplyDeleteKids find joy in the simplest things. Sounds like fun-I should suggest a family bowling night to my husband. We took our kiddos to the Children's Muesum for the first time and my son loved being a firefighter! That was our new adventure for the week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I'd be right with you there in the mid-50's :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, he is just precious!! We actually haven't taken the girls bowling yet. We've been meaning too, but we always somehow end up doing something else. My sister/BIL wanted to take the girls, so you might see a post about that soon.
