Bowling!

Last time we played bowling on the Wii, we decided it was time to introduce Carter to the real thing.  I have taken him a few times to watch my dad and uncles for their bowling league, and Carter has really shown some interest.  So we ventured out today, for the real deal.  And let me tell you - it wasn't any too soon because the smallest size of shoes they have is the exact size he currently wears. Talk about luck!  So we all got our fancy bowling shoes on and started up the game!

I should also say, they had special balls for kids. Carter ended up with a 6-pound ball, which seemed to work just fine for him.  He placed his fingers in the correct holes - though he still had to cradle the ball with both hands when it came time to throw/push it down the lane.

And sometimes he wanted help - others, he wanted to go solo.  Either way, with the bumpers up for him, he did just fine.  In fact, he was beating me most of the game!

We had such a good time - we even spent a little bit of time in the arcade playing air hockey after we were down bowling.  This will definitely be something we do more often - especially in the winter since outside play is somewhat limited, at times.
