Yesterday I took the kids to the library, we went home to eat lunch and I decided to take them bowling for our afternoon.
Mac wasn't sure about the effort he had to put in to throwing/pushing the ball
but he was really excited when we added this to his game
but he was really excited when we added this to his game
Capps tried 'granny style' once
but he quickly found his groove in the most peculiar way (backstory, as a toddler, we never could figure out if he would be left handed or right handed, I'm still not sure he should be right handed, but that is what he writes with?) He would bowl with his fingers in the ball right-handed, but he would throw from his left side
Daegan's style: WILD THING!
Tavis had great form and wasn't afraid to tell you, but he also would switch sides??
Mollee did well (she usually wins) 
and was the most enthusiastic about good bowls
The whole way to the bowling alley, Tavis (our worst loser) wanted to make it very clear we weren't bowling against each other and the points didn't count......
until he got high score and he wanted everyone to know: Tavis, 104, Capps, 90, Mollee, 84, Daegan, 70, Mac, 66 (this was the first game, second game we really didn't keep score)
Mrs. Rachel came with us and held on to Mac as he began to wilt (he ended up going to bed at 4:45 when we got home and had fever at 7:00 when I checked on him)
Capps kept trying to run from me when he realized I was taking his picture, but it is so hard to get a good picture of him smiling, I had to add this true smile to this already long post.
Your kids look HAPPY in all those pictures so yep, I'm thinking you get their vote for FUN MOM!
ReplyDeleteI have some free bowling coupons that I need to dig out. We only have three weeks of summer left...I really need to squeeze in some more fun stuff like that!
That's a great idea! Tavis cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! We've never taken our son bowling, but when I was teaching it was a field trip every year and the kids loved it!! I just looked and there's a bowling alley not too far from us that does the "Kids Bowl Free". Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBowling and free. . . a great combination! Such fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! How fun! Looks like your kiddos had a great time! :)
ReplyDeleteWe love Kids Bowl Free! Chase is a fellow sore loser. In order to prevent the pouting, we started taking the total score of all the bowlers from the first game and trying to top it in the second. That way we all win or lose together, which makes it easier for him to take. Of course, if he happens to win, that's all out the window and it's every man for himself!
