Bowling

Tonight Dave and I took Alaina and Leo bowling for the first time. Alaina had a blast! She loved pushing the ball down the lane. For some of the time Leo hung out in his stroller and for the rest of it he hung out with me in his sling. I was actually able to bowl while holding him in his sling. I even got a strike while he was helping me bowl. Alaina managed to pick up a couple of spares. Dave, of course, managed to blow both of us out of the water. The only reason I passed 50 was because we had the bumpers up for Alaina. It is nice to finally have an excuse to use the bumpers. I dread the day when our kids grow out of them.

Yesterday I took the kids to the park. Alaina had a blast running around. Leo was content to hang in his stroller. We also got out the baby walker this morning. Leo is actually able to touch the ground with his feet. He hasn't figured out how to walk though.

Here is Alaina helping Leo with his new toy. When he wasn't in it, Alaina crawled in.


Alaina decided that she was done running around and sat on the bleachers to watch the boys skateboarding in the skate park that is right next to the playground on post.

She helped Leo go down the slide. Right after I took this picture they both fell face forward and landed at the bottom of the slide.

Here we are bowling. Leo was content for the most part just sitting around in his stroller. He was able to catch a quick nap there during the first game.

Alaina getting ready to bowl!

She would put her bowling ball on that contraption and push it down.

I thought this was pretty cool how the camera focused on her face and blurred everything else. She was running to tell us that she knocked over pins.

Dave bowling..

And here is how I did most of my bowling...

Dave, being the technology savvy person he is, was able to take 4 pictures quickly while I was bowling. Here are the action shots:





I'm feeling sore already from tonight and we only bowled 2 games. On top of that I let Alaina bowl for me quite a few times. I guess that means I'm really out of shape. I think we may hit up the park tomorrow. I believe Dave is going to be going to the driving range for a while as well. He is looking forward to doing some golfing. Next weekend he is going golfing at the golf course on post. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! I hope all of you in Minnesota are enjoying your snow!
