Bowling With 3 Year Olds

Thanksgiving weekend, we went bowling with Kevin's sister and her family. We had four adults, and four kids, which was perfect to make two teams. This was our first time bowling with the girls, and I figured that we would play two or three games. Kevin's sister and brother-in-law new better, and informed us that one game was more then enough.

At 3:21pm, Brenna and Brooke are ecstatic about their first time bowling. They've got their fancy shoes on, and are oohing and ahhing over the multi colored bowling balls. Their names are up on the screen, the bumper is in place, and game is on.
They lift
they throwthey wait, and wait some moreand whether they hit ten pins or one, they clap, twirl in triumph,
and wait excitedly for their next turn.


Now it's 4:24 pm. The adult's game is finished, but the kid's game is still not over. Gone are the twirls and clapping, and the parents are having to encourage the kids to finish the game.
They flop
they whineand can't seem to go on for another second...

and that is why when you are bowling with 3 year olds, one game is more then enough!

We took our kids bowling over Thanksgiving, too! They did a couple throws, but they were WAY more interested in the arcade machines in the back of the place. Maybe when they're older.... :)

Cute pictures!

I love the FLOP! Sophie has perfected the FLOP. And it makes me laugh every time. (Which makes her even more MAD!!)

Lol! Yes 1 game is def enough. We recently went bowling too, the bumpers would pop up for the kids but go back down for Eric and I... And well Lucas beat me.
