Spending A Day At The Lanes

As a family, we headed out to the bowling alley with the task of teaching the kids how to bowl.  Neither of our kids had ever gone bowling before - probably because of the age difference between them.  Riley has a field trip to the bowling alley this coming week so I thought it would be a good idea to take him in advance.

Both kids had a blast!  Riley was giddy over each turn!  Thank goodness for bumpers though.  Too bad Uncle Kevin was out of town this weekend or we would have recruited him for bowling lessons for the kids!

Here's a peek at our family fun day at the bowling alley:

We had so much fun but didn't realize how expensive bowling has become!  Maybe it's just been too long since either of us have bowled.  But it was money well spent.  The kids had fun and we enjoyed spending time together, sharing a new experience with them.
