Rollin' with My Homies

OK, so it was just one homie (sp?), but rollin' we did go. To Garden City Bowling, that is. In an effort to give The Squidd some varied experiences, today I decided to take the kid to the lanes.

A couple of surprising things I discovered:

1) They rent shoes as small as children's size 6 (stinkin' cute), which incidentally is too small for The Squidd.
2) The Squidd can carry a 10 lb. bowling ball by himself.
3) This particular bowling alley can program bumpers for the gutters so they pop up only for certain bowlers. (Fancy!)

I wasn't sure how the experience would go, so we started off with a single game. I shouldn't have worried. We ended up playing two games, and The Squidd's best score of the two games was 113 (with bumper assistance). He was especially excited to score the "extra points" that came with the couple of spares he picked up. Needless to say, we had a blast and will be going back soon, hopefully with Rocky in tow.

  1. A 10 lb. ball? I used to use a 12 or 13 lb. ball. Such a cute little kid bowling should've drawn quite an audience. Wish we were there.

  2. Looks like Rock N Bowl! How adorable is the Squid, seriously. T-Bone was inspired by your success at the alley and took E. Unfortunately, E was far more interested in the "movies," i.e., video games, playing in the entry way. They bowled about a half game and that was it. E did get excited after one particularly good throw, and after jumping up and down repeatedly, his pants fell down. Highlight of the trip!
