A Bunch of Bowling

This weekend was pretty unusual for us with back to back bowling birthday parties.  We haven’t taken Bradley bowling in almost 2 years so it is funny how we had a weekend full of it.  I just always forget about the option to bowl.  Now we know that Bradley loves it and really gets into it and Gavin thinks it is cool to roll the ball down the kid ramp they set up and cheer everyone on to knock down the pins.  First up was Jensen’s Birthday party on Saturday.  He is new to Bradley’s preschool this year and they have become good play mates in class and have been known to teach each other more crazy boy talk.

On Sunday was Carter’s Birthday.  Our great friends Brian and Becky’s son.  He turned 3! I remember him when he was born and we used to do date night swaps in Virginia Beach with Brian and Becky so we spent a lot of time with him.  Ahhh, the days of having 1 child when friends offered to watch your children! Thankfully, we still have a few friends willing to watch all three but as you can imagine the offers aren’t pouring in like when it was just Bradley.

Gavin is getting very inquisitive and helpful I guess is one way to put it.  Or he is just a know it all.  He ran up to Brian giving him his shoes and notice his hands.  He is saying “Shoes, On?” for “Why aren’t your shoes on?”

The boys love “Ducky.”

Gavin was doing good carrying the ball all the way to the lane.  Bowling is a pretty dangerous sport for toddlers though.  He did drop it a few times so thankfully he missed his toes. 

Also, I thought it was cute that the boys split a turn together and they got a spare with their teamwork.  Bradley also got his first STRIKE on Saturday.  So, go to the lanes, rent some shoes and Bowl On People!
