Rainy Day Bowling

On Saturday, the family went to bowl. Yes, we are so cool. The kids have been bugging to go since Aunt Ann was here last Spring. The two of them have been bugging and nagging every time we would drive past the alley in the last 5 months (which is quite often since it is on the road to just about everything). All we would hear was,

"Can we go bowling someday?" "Can we go bowling someday?" "Can we go bowling someday?""Can we go bowling someday?"

After finally relenting, the two were popping with excitement. CJ tried several techniques for pushing the ball, including (but not limited to) 1. the one finger push, 2. the forearm nudge, 3. the cheek brush, 4. the forehead bump. All of them slightly less effective than the other, but entertaining none the less! Alexander, on the other hand, gave it his all -- each and every powerful push. See examples below.

The one finger push.

The forearm nudge.

The forehead bump.

The LAUNCH!

After about the 6th frame, I was kicking every one's ass and the kids were more excited about the apple juice and Fritos on the table. So, with a good hour wasted, we packed up to leave. Then they saw the arcade with a nascar driving game. Guess what we have being hearing since?

"Can we go drive that game at the bowling place someday?" "Can we go drive that game at the bowling place someday?" "Can we go drive that game at the bowling place someday?" "Can we go drive that game at the bowling place someday?" "Can we go drive that game at the bowling place someday?"

Yeah, here we go again.
