No Such Thing as Gutter Balls

At least not when you are a 2 or 3 year old bowler! This morning we met our friends, Brady and Laney, at the bowling alley.  None of them had ever been bowling before so we weren't sure how'd they do.  They loved it!  (At least the boys did!  Laney wasn't so sure about touching the ball.)
If you've never seen how the little ones bowl, there are bumper pads in the gutter and a little "slide" you roll the ball down.  We did move the slide a few times to let them throw the ball on their own but Reid's ball came to a stand still right in the middle of the lane! So the slide came back.  For those of you with little ones, you can sign  up for your kids to bowl 2 free games every day for the summer!  It's a great deal: http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/  We'll definitely be going back!

Getting the ball ready...

 And down the slide it goes!

 Reid's turn!

 As soon as the ball would hit the pins, every single time Reid would run back to me and yell "One Point!"

 Taking a snack break.

 Reid loved putting his face down where the air blows out.  Ah he keeps me laughing!

 Not that score matters one bit, and not that they have a competitive mother at all, but...

 The Foursome.  Thanks Jones Family for a fun outing!
