9/29 - Aiden's first bowling trip!

Tweet

I never knew a fly swatter could bring so much fun! Aiden didn't want Eli to have it and tried to take it away. Unfortunately for Aiden, Eli thought it was funny and didn't want to let go. Little Eli is so crazy sometimes.

We decided to take Aiden bowling for the first time last Friday. He had a blast. The little bowling shoes were too cute. The lightest ball was 7 lbs and it was this ugly green ball. To help speed things up (from waiting on Aiden's ball which took forever to get to the pins anyway), we got Aiden another ball that was 8lbs and florescent orange which he thought was really cool.

I've included the video of Aiden's first bowl. He finally got the hang of carrying his ball to the end of the alley (that was quite a workout). We stopped the grandma roll after 2 frames because it took FOREVER for the ball to get to the end and we were on a time limit since I had to get back to pick up Eli from daycare.
Brad asked for a ramp and that sped things up and was pretty fun for Aiden too.
He carried his ball all the way from the ball return to the ramp and then we helped him put it up there. He quite often got so excited that he got the ball there and the would forget to stay and push the ball down.

Aiden loved waiting for his ball to come back and that the end of ball return blew air out.

I haven't bowled since we left Jax over 3 years ago so I was pretty excited at my bowling score. It's been a long time since Brad bowled too. The A in red highlight is Aiden's score! We ended up playing 2 games although Aiden and I had to leave before the 2nd game was over to get Eli.
I've made the boys start bathing together all the time rather than separately because I don't have time for that anymore. Aiden is helping wash Eli off. The rules: No water on Eli's head! It's a hard one for Aiden to follow but he tries.

I'm going to do a post tomorrow about the status of Eli walking!
