This weekend, thanks to my sister’s suggestion, the whole family went bowling. It was the first time for Ava and Julian (if you don’t count the Wii). ;)
Ava was happy to do it all by herself and, with the help of the bumpers in the gutters, bowled a pretty good game. (And yes, I think the tutu helped her game. *wink*)
Julian had a little extra help with the bowling ball stand (they didn’t have those when I was a kid) and bumpers and, of course, the moral support of his whole family. hee, hee.
We all had a lot of fun, so much that Ava said “we should go bowling every day” and asked if she could live there. :)

Here’s my Best Shot (Ava and I cheering for Julian’s spare!) taken by my sister Carrie, though I’m also quite fond of the picture of the one above – of all of us getting Julian set up to bowl. :)

Those have got to be the brightest, prettiest bowling shoes I’ve ever seen. They went perfectly with the bowling tutu. ;-)
I used your salt dough recipe today! It was a hit.

Love the tutu at the bowling alley!
My Little Guy went through a shin guard phase for nearly two years.
Got to love their free spirit!
