The Benes Bowlers!

Brian and I wanted to make sure that we didn't just let the boys' Christmas vacation quietly slip by this year. So we have made an extra effort to pull them away from the normal things we do and slide in a few fun family treats here and there. As we were brainstorming what to do on a Tuesday, came the wonderful idea of bowling!!!! By the way, we never tell the kids what we are going to do or where we are going till we are at the place, just to give them alittle extra anticipation! As we pulled up to the bowling building, my now 1st grade readers shouted out "Bowling!!!!!"

Did you know that even a 2 year old can bowl!!! Haley and Tyler liked their new shoes :)
(After we had finished bowling, Jacob commented on how funny his feet smelled.)

Tyler (in grey) and Jacob (in black) were extra excited when they discovered that this wasn't any old bowling alley....this was Rock-n-Roll Bowling! There was dance music playing, no lights on except for the black lights, disco balls, and colored strobe lights. What a FUN time we had!

You can see the colored lights that danced on the floor to the music. So much fun to try and catch them!

Daddy and Haley patiently watched as her ball slowly rolled down the alley to hit the pins.

She was always very excited when she hit the pins. The whole day was about giving "high fives!"

Little did I know that Brian was taking this oh so flattering picture of my backside ;) but, (no pun intended there either) I wanted to say that after bowling a Turkey in the first game, I think I got my moms fantastic bowling form! Thanks Mom! :)

The trip to the bowling alley was only topped off by eating hot dogs and soda while waiting for your next turn to bowl.

Stayed tuned for what comes next! :)
