Bowl Me Over


Inspired by the Pottery Barn Kids bowling game we played with the other day at the mall, we had a family bowling activity Saturday. I think it had been 2 years since we last went--so Bode was about 2 but somehow he had lots of appropriate questions about it, as if he knew what it was all about. Maybe it's been on a cartoon or something...Anyway, he was super-excited to go and we had a great time. Bumpers and those handicapped ball-roller-thingies rock! Bode tossed his ball down the lane by himself and would yell to it to "TURN!" Keegen would yell "GOOOOO!" (reminding me of Spanish channel soccer games whenever they score --GOOOOOOAL!!!) and clap. They were cute and fun and we had a great time.




The sound of my own voice makes me cringe!! Ugh.

erin--there's an icon next to the photo upload icon on your blogger post page. as long as it's in one of the formats they accept, it wasn't hard at all. altho, the first time i tried, it took an hour and then i got an "error" reading, but the second time i could see that it was working right (showed me how much had uploaded as it went along). it took awhile (10-15 min??) but just as easy as uploading a pic.
