One night, a group of us planned to go to our favorite restaurant as kids, Casa Bonita, but with the traffic on a Monday night in the Denver area (driving from Longmont) and already having had such a long day, I just didn't have it in me to drive an hour to get there!
So plan two, we decided to try Gateway near the foothills in Boulder, which is a fun park with mini-golf and go-carts, but by the time we arrived there was a very windy rain storm that was just not going to give up, boo! :-(
Well, we were about to call it a night, due to the rain when the guy who works at Gateway said, "how about going bowling??" Well... yes, bowling! I haven't thought about, or gone bowling in a loooong time! So we headed back to Longmont and hit the Centennial Lanes! We had a fun time and it was great for all the kids big and small!

| Katie Grace Hua Hua decided to stretch out before bowling ;-) |
 |
| Look how cute she is in those bowling shoes!!!! We couldn't believe they had bowling shoes that small!! |
 |
| We found the lightest ball possible for her - 6 lbs |
 |
| Here Matthew set up Joshua and Hua Hua with their own lane next to ours. They tried to bowl for awhile free-style, but it was always going into the gutter, and then Matthew had a great idea to get the assistance roller for kids. Well, that made them really happy! |
 |
| Christina's turn...... |
 |
| She got a spare on her first bowl and was really good throughout the night! |
 |
| Joshua posed for the pic and ready for his bowl! |
 |
| Happy with his work on the lanes |
 |
| My little sister, Polly, ready for her turn! Isn't she just the cutest?? If I told you her age you would never believe it. Nobody does or ever will. She is just natural and lovely inside and out, too. |
 |
| Polly showing us her skilzz..... |
 |
| Polly's son Aaron I am pretty sure won this evening. He rocked this game out!! |
 |
| Matthew's turn.... |
 |
| Feelin' pretty good about his game |
 |
| Back at the table for a quick rest and a smile for mom who takes way too many pictures! |
 |
| Ok, it's my turn. Let's just say, I learned something this week. If you are in your (ahem cough cough) 40s and you do not continue to play basket ball and bowl at least a couple times a year, you really lose your touch! I am going to get out there more often and play because I used to be a good bowler and make great shots at the hoop, and this week I could see my extreme lack of skill in both! UGH!!! But we did have A LOT OF FUN! |
