First Time Bowling!

Well there is a first time for everything and we were ready for our first time bowling!  It was so much fun!  I went with a few friends and their kiddos in the mid-morning on one of the snowiest days we've had.  It was a great day to go nonetheless - there was no one there except us!!

All the kids were fascinated by the lanes - they could have just watched the lanes and not bowled and been fine :)  They were so cute and absolutely loved this new experience

Here I was talking to the kids about how the ramp worked and then...

Austin took the ball and knew what to do!  Woo-hoo!

I love Avery in the background trying to sit on the ramp - she's so cute!

I love this pic of Rio - every time she pushed the ball down the ramp, she would put her hands up to her cheeks and rest her elbows on the ramp and just smile.

Aw...love these 3 so much!  They were so cute with each other trying to help each other get a strike!

Austin - get ready, get set..

and...

GO!!!

Rio's turn!

GO!!!  She was quite the accurate bowler - she'd line up the ramp and did really well

Here we go again Rio... she loved it so much!

Ready sweetie? and GO!!

Oh my Jax...he is so much fun!  Always full of the most incredible energy around - love that cheezer smile of his

I love this pic too - Austin was quick to remind Jax that it wasn't his turn to get a ball - it was Parker's turn and Austin wasn't about to let Jax get his ball :)

YEAH!! I keep saying this but honestly, this was SO much fun to watch them learn something new.  I'm a nerd I know but I had a blast!

Love this too!

Rio watching on, Jax totally thrilled to watch it flying down the lane and Austin with his cute little scrunched up nose and hands on hips and Lucas staring on as well

Yes?  I know how to do this mom - no need to help anymore 

Nicholas, Jax, Austin (yes, his finger is by his nose - what is that fascination?) and Rio cooling down her hands after her tough bowling skills

Reese, Jax, Parker and Austin guarding "their" ball

Silly faces

Oh no...we're stuck!!!

Even Logan got in on some of the action!

Good job Logan - trying to find where to put his little fingers

What a doll you are sweetheart!

Happy kids!  All done bowling and ready for lunch!

My Austin is so dang photogenic!  He looks adorable in every picture - he was so proud of himself being able to twist around in that twisty chair

 Here we are!

*Parker (on the ground), Nicholas, Jax, Austin, Lucas, Rio, Andrew and Avery* (Reese was missing)

 Thanks so much Jax, Austin and Rio for going bowling with me!  I had so much fun watching you learn something new again and being so happy about it! 

Love you so much!
