Bowling! Yee haw!

On Sunday we made a little day trip to New Ulm for bowling and Happy Joe's Pizza. The pizza was spectacular, to be sure. The bowling was new to most of the kids. Here Kelson works on his special "Set the Ball Down and Push it so that it takes Five Minutes to Get Down the Lane" delivery. Eventually I decided to help him by giving the ball an additional push after his push. If I hadn't started doing that, we would probably still be there.

Milena uses her big strong muscles to bring the ball to the lane.

Being a big girl, she was able to do it all by herself. Sometimes.

Eli was definitely able to get the ball going down the lane, although he was never able to come up with a consistent approach. Sometimes he'd push it, sometimes he'd throw it, sometimes left handed, sometimes right handed. It was a work in progress.

Koleman actually looks like he knows what he's doing, except for the fact that the ball is a foot in front of the start of the lane. He was fortunate to have his mother helping him. He had at least one time where he picked up a spare without the ball bouncing off the lane guards. We were so proud!

Time to go, and everyone is still happy. It went well enough that there might even be a next time in the future.
