family night

i have had enough of being on lock down after having cole. serious cabin fever set in so i suggested we go bowling. we haven't gone in a really long time and i wasn't sure if ben remembered what it was or if he was just as excited as i was to get out, but either way we were all excited. we got to the bowling alley and ben got his very own pair of bowling shoes! i wasn't sure if this was going to be a good or a bad thing because he gets really attached to his shoes. He loved them and couldn't wait for me to get them on him. not only did he get his own fancy shoes but he got his very own orange bowling ball! when it was his turn to bowl he insisted on picking up the ball himself (we were impressed he could carry a six pound bowling ball all on his own) and then humming a tune as he hauled his ball the ball roller thing (that is a technical term). he would put his ball up and say, "wait for it" while the machine puts the pins in place then he would yell, "GO!!" and push the ball as hard as he could. he usually hit some pins, thanks to the bumper lanes, and then he would sprint back to the ball return and call to his orange ball and clap his hands. after we finished a game where all of us took turns we bought another game just for him to go over and over and over again. i think it is safe to say that bowling was a huge hit!
