Bowling!

Sam has wanted to go bowling for a while now. We always say we will take her, but we never do. I always feel like that’s one of my major mom failures – not taking her to do new things. Well, thankfully, I was saved! A girl in her class was having a birthday party at a bowling alley. Sam was thrilled! It was one of those glow bowl places and that just made it even more fun.
Sam did so well! I was floored! I mean, yes, there were bumpers up for the kids or we’d probably see nothing but gutter balls, but she was doing great. She got SO MANY SPARES. So many. And almost one strike! The speed thing cracks me up – 1.2 mph!
Midway, you can see, bumpers or no bumpers, she was kicking some butt! Sam is the one with the score of 67. Compared to everyone else, she’s a pro!
By the end of her game, she had blown everyone away. She quickly figured out that, even though she could hardly lift the thing, the heavy balls make it easier to knock pins down. After a few tries, she was hooked on this one green ball that I think weighed 12 pounds. She wouldn’t bowl one frame without it!
Sam’s lucky ball! I guess we’ll be going bowling again sometime soon! She loved it and I think I’d have fun too. Although, I wonder if they’ll let Mommy use the bumpers…..
