Bowling for French Fries

So when I was watching the Leaver kids we went bowling. For those of you that know me, you know that I'd rather get a root canal then go bowling. I'm not much of a fan to say the least. Among a whole list of things that I don't like, the thought of putting my feet in sweaty bowling shoes... well it sort of skeeves me out, but I wanted to do something fun, and one day when we were driving past the Redrock Casino, the kids told me that's where they go bowling, so I figured we'd do that. I know it was a big task to take on by myself, what can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment. Just a word of advice, I learned that kids are good for about 5 frames, then they get bored. I also learned that you should keep an attendant close because the ball will frequently stop rolling half way down the lane. The last thing that I learned was no matter what age you are, once you start bowling, you do the typical things like dance if you roll a good frame, or fall down if you didn't. I got documentation of this by way of video. Of course I had to snap some photos also. I think the kids were more excited about the french fries they had as a snack. Elliet kept asking me if she won, luckily she did....by one point, or else I'm not sure what would have happened. I have to admit, they behaved pretty well, and they were so super cute bowling and dancing. Just look below.

Also, check out this cute video of the kids bowling!




Here's the final score!

Elliet: 57, Lucas: 56, Sadie: 42.
Oh and FYI, I probably wouldn't have done much better!

Jeannine! You are the best babysitter ever. I can obviously relate the extreme boredom and effort it takes to take the kids bowling. I don't know if we pay you enough. :-)
