Legend Bowlers...NOT!

This weekends activity was an entertaining session of ten pin bowling.  Although the shoes have been upgraded, along with the aisles and general alley fit out, I did have some antibacterial stuff on hand for the clean up!  Really, how many hands have been in those holes before mine?  The answer is just too many!

Legend bowlers our family is not, but we are all good with most types of public humiliation. This is actually lucky, picture that pink striped shirt with an almost matching striped darker pink skirt, and top it off nicely, knee high floral socks, and yes neon pink sandals. I did actually refuse to leave the house without some wardrobe re functioning.

Upon arriving at the alley, the child was more concerned about sharing the large amount of Cheesels in her lunch box than actually partaking in bowling.  Then there was a small moment of annoyance from the light weight child who wants a blue ball.  Now the small size did not come in blue, right parental strategy to convince that green was also very cool....met with mutual disdain and one raised eye brow.

In the second game, Maddy whips out the assisting frame to help her bowl, after Mum refuses to let her embrace her strategy of kicking the ball down the alley.  This appeared to be a sound strategy, and was not far behind us in terms of final score.  There was a moment of amusement...Ok, a big belly laugh at her boundary testing moment of crossing the black line when bowling.  Note to self, Mum was onto something with the very unsightly leg split I have just done :-)

It was fun, and we were out of the house and bonding together.  Next stop Fasta Pasta for lunch, and the child is almost in Italian heaven.  The afternoon was then topped off with a swim in the pool, and the child was asleep in less than four minutes after hitting the pillow later that night.

No Mum, it is not heavy!

And that makes a loud banging noise!

Ok, just a small amount of help.
