Bowling

On Sunday afternoon we went bowling with Leigh, Rob, Elizabeth, and Isaac. They had all been before, and Myles went once in December to a bowling birthday party. For my other three kids, though, bowling was a new experience. My sister wasn't feeling well, so Rob, Bryan, and I bowled on one lane and helped the kids on the next lane. We bowled two games in less time than it took the kids to bowl one. Everyone had a lot of fun.
Berkleigh insisted on carrying her ball to the line herself, even though it was almost as big as she is. I'm surprised she never dropped it on her toes.
Bryan and Merlyn were watching her ball roll S-L-O-W-L-Y down the lane. It took about two minutes to get to the pins each time, so they watched a long time!
Merlyn and Berkleigh are not typical "girlie-girls", but there are some things they love, like shoes. They were excited about the snazzy bowling shoes.










Myles tried to throw the ball down the lane, narrowly missing his feet several times.
I love Carter's look of concentration as he gets ready to bowl.

Here's Bryan showing them how it's done!

After bowling we had ice cream right at Marcellus Lanes, where the kiddie size cones are as big as an adult medium at any other ice cream stand. If you're ever in the area and in the mood for ice cream, this is the place to go. Not only are the servings HUGE, but the ice cream is delicious. Even though chocolate is my hands-down favorite, I have to say that the soft orange sherbet is definitely the best sherbet I've had.
