Ugly Shoes & An Orange Ball

Austin's best friend in the whole wide world is Ryan. They are in 'school' (our term for daycare) together, and come September 1st will be in the afternoon 4K program together. Today is a big day - Ryan's 4th birthday. Austin was invited to go bowling with their family; Ethan and I were invited to tag along, so we did. It was fun to see Austin in action....after a few turns, we got him to stick his fingers in the holes and 'toss' it down the alley instead of setting it down at the line and giving it a push, hoping it was a strong enough of a push to make it all the way down to the pins. He did well today! 

It was fun to be at a bowling alley again...I haven't plunked my fingers into a bowling ball and whipped it down the alley since my early college years - when coworkers (from Culver's) and I would go after we closed the restaurant. Next time I'll have to rent the awful rental shoes and give it a whirl again. I just remember laughing a lot, having tons of fun, and that my scores were in the double digits. That's right - I stank at bowling! But I had fun, and that's all I remember so that's all that counts!
