Bowling

My Mom is really good about experiencing things with her grandchildren and pushing Sarah and I out of our routined lives (yes, I can be very uptight!) and trying something new with our kids.  On this winter day, we went out for breakfast with our families - Kevin, brother-in-law Joel, my Dad and brother Joel were also able to join us - and then went out bowling at Waterdown Lanes afterwards when Dad, Joel, and Joel went to work (Kevin didn't have to go in to work until the afternoon).  This bowling alley has been around for a long time.  I remember going there for birthday parties as a child!

Since it was a weekday morning, we had the bowling alley to ourselves.  It was really fun!  The kids LOVED it.

We used the ball guide a lot since the little ones had a hard time getting the ball to the end of the lane:)  My Mom and Sarah helping Elyse and Juliana:

Sarah getting ready for her turn - pregnant with James, who is now two weeks old:)

All the activity was a little too much for Elyse, so she had a break and yawned a bit:)

Jules knocked one down!

Leapers done her break and grabbing another ball.
