B b b bowling!

Big sister had her first bowling experience a couple of weekends ago. It will come as no surprise that she immediately took charge, needed no instruction and wanted to do it all by herself. As she reminds us frequently...."I'M INDEPENDENT!!!!"

 

We went on a Saturday afternoon and played two games. Daddy won them both. Us girls need some practice. Either that or he took it way too serious. ;) Or maybe Hallie was more interested in the snack bar and waiting to watch her ball pop out of here....

 

.....and doing this.....

 

She jumped up and down with joy when she knocked down any number of pins....but sometimes she got so excited that she forgot to wait and see how many actually fell down. The bowling shoes were iffy at first....it was touch and go whether or not she was actually going to put them on. She used words like "yucky" and "icky" and "ugly" as she pointed to them with her nose turned up. So very Hallie. ;) Two games was her max. Toward the end she started asking Riley to take her turn for her. Ha!

"Don't sing me up for any bowling leagues in the near future!"

We will return to the bowling alley at some point.....but first I need to figure out a way to remove the memory of the arcade area from her mind. Arcade games > bowling according to Hal.
