Promises, promises.

We promised the girls we would take them bowling over Christmas break and today was the day. We ended up taking a few friends and meeting a few friends. There were nine little girls between the ages of 4.5 and 1o and 3 adults. The bowling alley was packed full of other families who had probably made the same bowling promises. After a long wait we all got our stinky pre-worn shoes and sat down to put them on...Amelia slips off her furry boots and has NO socks on (which was Chris's fault since I wasn't home this morning and he was in charge). Sooo we had to buy her some too big bowling alley socks. We were all suited up and started our first game. The music was blaring and there were sounds of pins and balls colliding . The kids stayed pretty interested through the first half. During the second half they were all starting to beg for a snack and kept wandering over to the arcade games. We got snacks and finished the first game and started a second game...that was a mistake. The kids were totally done. We bowled a few frames and that was that. Our bowling promises were fulfilled for the year.
Now I have a total 7-10 split-ing headache. Luckily, in our family, bowling only happens once a year!
