Let's Bowl!

Avery is an ace at Wii Bowling so we decided to take her to a real bowling alley to test her mad skills. Our bowling alley here in little old Spencer has "Candlepin Bowling". I have never heard of it before but it is great for kids. You use a really small ball that is much easier for kids to throw. Avery was so excited to go! The only problem was that when you walk in the bowling alley they have a game section with skeet ball and video games and all kinds of mechanical rides so once the girls saw that, they were not as excited about the bowling. But we walked past the games and got our schnazzy bowling shoes on and got set up on our lane. Sierra was good for one frame and then she was completely done. Her bowling shoes came off and she was off to the games and rides. Avery lasted a little longer, but not much. She did have fun bowling though. She bowled around a 55 ; not quite as good as on the Wii. But she still beat Daddy who had some trouble adjusting his technique with a small ball. Then we all had some fun playing games and we discovered another fun indoor activity for those cold, wintry days.
