day 126: birthday bowling

As a birthday surprise Grandma and I took Christopher and the rest of the kids bowling today.  Christopher is the only one of the kiddos that has ever been bowling, though the rest do know how to play Wii bowling.

Christopher did really well- he actually won our game!!

Nick's bowling skills are a work in progress.  They definitely improved over the course of the game!

Lexie and Ben loved watching the balls come out and then rolling them back and forth while waiting for their turns.

Go Ben!!  You can do it!  And the ball made it all the way to the pins ALMOST every time.

Lexie hamming it up for the camera.  She was pretty impressed with the fan!!

Ben and Lexie spent a lot of time watching the ball go down the lane.

The birthday boy- I can't believe he's SEVEN!!

We only bowled one game today and it took a little over 2 hours!!  There were a few balls that didn't make it to the end of the lane and a couple of computer errors but everyone had a great time.  I'm sure we'll be back again soon- if nothing else, it was cheap entertainment!!

Here's a couple of videos that convey how long each turn actually took.
