Bowling anyone?

As part of the boys' birthday presents, my parents gave Jack and Nick money to go bowling. 2 1/2 months after their birthday we finally put that money to use and hit the lanes! First things first though, we had to get our shoes. Jack, Nick and Daddy suited up while Luke and I enjoyed our job as cheerleaders!
Well, Luke enjoyed his very own Sprite and watching for the balls to come back after the boys threw them! He was seriously amazed that they would just pop up from the ground! Daddy was really worried about hurt fingers, especially because Luke kept trying to grab the balls, but I'm happy to say that we all left with our fingers intact. Unfortunately, we did have one small casualty as I ended up with a smashed big toe, as Jack accidentally dropped his 8 pound ball on it! Who knew that would be so painful?
Jack and Nick absolutely LOVED bowling and believe it or not, at one time they were both actually beating Daddy! Jack was proud to tell all that he had 2 strikes (throughout the 2 games) and Nick boasted of his 1 strike, while Daddy kept pretty close lipped about his 3 strikes (I think he was hoping for more, especially since we had the bumpers up on the gutters!) Thanks Nana and Papa! We really did have a great time!
