The Ten Pin Shuffle

**Can I just say that I hate the formatting in blogger. I've tried to fix the spacing on this entry for 30 minutes now and the only thing I've done successfully is raise my blood pressure. Sorry the spacing is so messed up!
We are entertaining family from out of town this weekend. Hubby's Dad and nephew came into town and we've been having a ball visiting. The girls love their "Pappy" and he loves them right back. They get to see him a few times a year, so each visit is quite special. We decided to take everyone for a spirited round of bowling. Little did we know that we were all going to have way more fun than we could have imagined! This was the girls first visit ever to the bowling alley and they were ready to take on the lanes.

Big A, Nephew, & Little A - Supervising the ball return
Daddy assists Little A in lining up the perfect shot

Little A watches the ball head down the lane to knock down 9 pins. Wahoo!


Nephew strikes a pose. A tae-kwon-do pose it seems.


Big A is adamant about babysitting the ball return. I don't know where this Type A behavior comes from. Ahem.


The bowling alley all of sudden turned on their cosmic lightshow in the middle of our game. It also came with the typical party reception music, such as The Chicken Dance and the always popular, YMCA. Please enjoy Big A's quick rendition of YMCA.


The scores for the first game were pretty darn good.
Little A = 117
Big A = 123
Nephew = 99
Me = 136
Hubby = 156
Pappy = 175 (a big come from behind considering his first shot of the day was a gutter ball)
The second game wasn't finished by everyone because we ran short on time, but I would like to point out that I did get to finish my game and I scored a rather impressive 222. Six strikes in a row baby! I kicked those boys tails and loved it! Seriously though, we all had an AWESOME time and can't wait to return. Actually, Big A informed me that she now wants to have a Backyardigans themed bowling party for her bday in October. Gee whiz, if the venue changes 1 more time, I'm giving up and having this party in our backyard.
