Bowling

This afternoon, my dear friend, Jen and I decided to take our kiddos bowling...it was another eventful afternoon for sure!

They had a great time together and actually did pretty well overall (well, I guess the bumpers helped a bit), but they truly had a lot of fun!

Alexia was first up to bowl...and was very proud of her PINK 8 lb ball because the younger kids had to use an ORANGE 6 lb ball...Here she is showing off her strength as she prepared to bowl her first frame...

Alexia did pretty well on most of her frames, but she kept waiting for that first STRIKE...and once she got it...check out her excitement below...

Megan enjoyed the experience as well...although neither she nor her friend Connor cared too much about how they actually did...they just had fun being there!

Alexia was a great encourager to Megan and Connor for their efforts...She truly is a great BIG SISTER and a VERY DEAR FRIEND to others.  I love watching God develop a sense of care and kindness in her...she makes her Mama proud!!!

Here are Megan and Connor celebrating some of their greatest bowling moments of the day :)



YEA...I DID IT!!!!



WOO-HOO!!!!  A SPARE !!



OH YEA!!! (notice the celebration before the ball even hit any pins)  :)



YES!!!!

After about the 7th frame, Megan and Connor's energy lessened a bit...Jen commented on how Connor was getting great enjoyment in "organizing" the bowling balls and Megan found her entertainment from the hand blower...I love my Megs so much...she sure does know how to keep me laughing and reminds me not to take life so seriously!

After they were done bowling their first game, they, of course were STAAAAARVING....so we took a break for a snack and a few slushy's.  They were so cute sitting up on the stools...

God has truly blessed us in our friendship with this these guys!!!  We love them so much and always have a great time when we hang out together.
