I am the queen of the lanes...

I thought I'd better continue my updates on all the fun we had while John was here for RnR.  One afternoon we packed up the girls and went bowling.  Both Bella and Maddie LOVE to bowl.  Me...I can take it or leave it.  John?  Well, he seems to think it's the time to exact a challenge to himself as the master of the between the legs bowling...

Its almost too much to watch, but the next three minutes of your life will be spent in the **saddest** display of between your legs granny bowling that you've ever seen...



Maddie is a pretty good little bowler.  She kept starting from way back by the seats and then would literally throw the ball...it would bounce once before it hit the lanes so John showed her some better moves...and the kid got some strikes and spares. 


Bella, on the other hand would just walk up and drop the ball so John would give it an extra push...


...and then they'd hang out and wait...


These were seriously the s.....l....o....w.....e.....s....t bowling balls ever.


Except this little bundle of bowling ball energy...

Yeah...we had a good time....and that would be YOURS TRULY who totally rocked the house with a score of 104...


I don't think they'll be banging my door down anytime soon to ask me to join their league ...but at least I knocked at least one pin down every time I tossed that ball.  (ha ha ha....that was just one more tease for Mr. Chucklehead's bowling experience.)
It was really more about family time anyway.

Funny! It just made me laugh. And made Abby laugh too. She now wants to "play that game" Guess it's time to take the kids bowling.

I don't mean to add to John's misery but... in subsequent pictures it seems apparent that you all were even playing Bumper Bowl (i.e with the gutter guard rail bumpers up)? :-)I'm bad. Sorry, John, for even mentioning it. (Just that I've played many a 1x/year game with my nieces, who have notoriously done their own version of your "under the leg" move or, more often, Bella's "helpful push" bowl... and come up with scores hurtfully (heehee) close to mine.)

I agree with the others, Anna, that some of those photos are entirely too sweet. :)
