Family Bowling!

Blakely is interested in having a bowling party for her birthday this year, so we headed to the bowling alley to see how things would go. We had lots of fun! Before we left, she went to her room to pick out a big girl bowling outfit for herself, headband and all. After she was dressed, we went to dinner with Nana and Aunt Laura, then we headed to the bowling alley. Blakely was super excited that some more of the family could join us there too.
When we walked into the bowling alley, there were disco lights and music playing...Blakely was in her element. She was very excited to tell the attendant her shoe size. The attendant then gave her a lovely pair of glow-in-the-dark shoes, and a bright lime ball to match her lovely glowing shoes. She liked that a lot! Next we headed to our lane to input everyone's names. Blakely went first, and she did her best to get the ball down the lane like a "real bowler." Luckily Uncle Drew thought to have the bumpers raised, so her slow moving ball could ricochet from side to side before knocking down the pins. She bowled a 97...not bad for her first try! We're still deciding on whether to do the party there...I think we should wait until the kids are a little bigger. We'll see! Either way, she wants to go back again for some more family bowling very soon!
