Bowling

The photos aren't the greatest but you can still see the joy Peanut got from her first bowling class.

She is actually airborne with excitement.

I don't know if the ball or Peanut weighs more.

Thanks to our fabulous friend S, who found this class for her daughter and flagged us to it. It's a 10 week course that includes bumper pads and some sort of ramp that allows little ones to roll the ball easier.

The husband wasn't so sure how this was going to go down so he decided to tell our little fashionista that she would get to wear new shoes. Who knew they had such small shoes? This kid is still in size 7 toddler shoes.

He said she and her friend tried to kick the balls down the lane but then the ramp helped. They also guarded their ball from the little boys next to them, standing with arms open, waiting for the ball to return and snatching it up the moment it did. She even almost got a strike once, knocking all but one pin down.

She told me it was fun and that she was happy that her prize at the end of the class was a frog.

She also said bowling is about sharing and taking turns. Who knew she would learn life lessons from a game associated with old guys smoking and drinking?
