Lane 16

 I took O bowling for the first time.

I think it is safe to say she loved the 

whole experience.

She thought the bowling shoes were

pretty (really?!?  I think it's cute they

are so small, but not pretty.)

She loved the pink bowling ball.

"He must know I like pink mama!"

Well, it could be that, or it could be

that 4 pound balls only come in pink.

I liked the little finger holes.

She also rocked it out at bowling (once the bumpers

were in place).  54 for the first time bowling isn't too

bad, in my opinion.

I can remember when I went bowling as a child,

thinking the lanes were sooo long.

Well, no wonder. 

When you roll the ball and it takes 15-20 seconds

to get down the lane, yes it seems long.

I also remember not being able to get the ball

all the way down the lane.

O got hers down every time.

One time, it was moving so slow that when it

hit pin number 2, it stopped completely...

and the arm couldn't get the pin out of the way.

So, the man had to walk down and reset it for us.

As we were leaving O said,

'Mama, that was so much fun.  

We should do this again and again.

Next time, I am bringing my friends!'
