Give Kids A Smile Bowling Night

We have had a bad case of cabin fever over the last few weeks.  Man it has been cold!  We needed a night out.  A great opportunity came up when the Provo Dental Alliance had a charity bowling night at BYU.  We took all the kids and went.  It proved to be very fun.  As we pulled up to the Wilkinson Center, Kayden asked me, "Mom, did you remember to bring our bowling balls?"  I laughed as we do not own any bowling balls.  Then it dawned on me, Kayden does not remember EVER going bowling.  Let me just say, he loved it.  Kayden was even sad when he had to give his cool shoes back at the end of the night.  Every part of it the boys loved.  What was not to love?  There was a liter of root beer on each table, all you can eat pizza and pasta from Brick Oven and bowls of candy on the table as well.  Then the bowling.  The first round of bowing we just did our best--and I did.  I bowled a 130, my best score ever.  Jeremy only beat me by a couple of pins.  The second round of bowling had us doing all sorts of maneuvers and tricks:

One time we had to bowl while sitting down.  Above you see Jaxon and Jeremy taking their turn.

Jaxon laying on the floor after he was done.  Off to the right, you can see Jeremy trying to get up while he is getting a hug from Kayden.

Me bowling between my legs.  At the very least it didn't go in the gutter.

McKay trying a different approach to bowling between the legs.

Josh bowling while sitting down.  Lucky kid, he had bumpers!

Kayden giving his ball a nice "toss" down the lane.  He thought he was pretty awesome.

Jeremy bowling between the legs.

Bowling backwards.  Looking good, eh?

At the end of the night they had a raffle drawing.  We won a pocket knife and then won the last prize of the night which was a huge basket full of BYU stuff.  The boys were past excited: 

They also loved that they came home with extra root beer.  It was a fun night and it was great to be out of the house together as a family.
