Cael's Birthday Bowling

Since we celebrated Cael's birthday the night before I thought it would be fun to do something special on his actual birthday. A couple of months ago he was invited to a bowling birthday party for our neighbor Dallin and he's not stopped talking about it. So he chose to take his "friends" bowling. Well since this was a last minute thing he wasn't able to take all his friends, just Dad, Mom, Kensie, and Dallin who just happen to be over playing at our house when we decided what we were going to do. This year his birthday fell on a Monday and I thought it would work out perfect to go bowling on a Monday because it would be family night; right? No, when we walked in we soon figured out it wasn't family home evening night it was Ladies League night! Lucky for us they keep 2 lanes open for families that are daring enough to be humiliated in front of the die hard pros. Nikki's mother-in-law, Debbie, was there with her team and came over to see the kids. She warned us to keep the kids away from some of the older ladies because they didn't like it when kids were there! (Note: Debbie is the sweetest lady and is so good to my kids, I know she doesn't feel that way, but just wanted us to know that some of the ladies did. Which was nice of her to warn us, but still upset me that some of them would feel that way about a family being there!) What should that matter? It's not like I'm going to ask them to babysit! We were assigned to the last lane and we luckily had a family in between us and the "Pros" (who's game may be interfered by a child 10 lanes down!) We hurried and started our game so we could get out of there, before one of the kids sneeze and fowled a "professional". The kids loved it and I think we all got a strike even the birthday boy! This is something we will defiantly do again, just not on league night!
