STRIKE!!
On Sunday, we took the kids to bowling at Leda Lanes. Leda Lanes is a candlepin bowling alley as opposed to your traditional 10 pin large ball bowling alley. Until I moved to the northeast, I'd never even knew such a thing existed. It's played with smaller balls (2.7 lbs) and instead of getting 2 balls for each frame, you get 3. And the pins are quite a bit smaller and shaped differently. For more info on candlepin bowling, visit http://www.ledalanes.com/ .
Anyway, the kids had a great time bowling! It was their first time and we weren't sure if they'd enjoy it but they loved it! I took some pics with my el cheapo camera but they were a bit dark. Here they are...

Lexi at her favorite area of the alley - the ball return!
The popular stance for the girls - hands on the hips!

The "special shoes"! The kids loved them!

FUN! We've not taken the kids bowling, yet, but now that I see how much fun yours have had, I may just do it. Looks like you had a great time!

How fun. My kids love to go bowling. Thank goodness for the Wii or we'd be at the alley all the time.
Cute pics!! I totally understand the ball SLOWLY rolling ... lol
When i took my youngest for the first time she loved the ball return also!!
:)
Fun! We haven't taken the kids to do real bowling yet. All of our bowling takes place on the Wii.
Ah, what fun! We took the kids about 2 years ago...then both the bowling alleys in this city closed down!
Glad that the kids enjoyed it so much! They really liked the shoes eh? LOL I have my own from when I was in a league ;)
