One of the Big Kids

On Sunday at church we were invited to tag along with the youth group who was going bowling.  Since our afternoon freed up we decided it would be the perfect opportunity for Drew to experience his first bowling alley.

Drew bowled on the lane with Pastor, Daddy, and Pastor's soon-to-be Daughter-in-law (all the youth group were spread out on other lanes).  When Drew's turn came up, he the bumpers came up hoping to improve his game. 

Drew quickly learned real bowling is different than hallway or Wii bowling. 

Let's just say he wasn't breaking any records like he does on his Wii bowling game.  After 2 games he was pretty much done - they bowled 3 games.  The weight of the ball and the wait between one turn to the next finally did him in.  I think his average game was maybe 40, so not stellar, but not bad for a first performance.

It was really cute to see him trying to do it all himself, and then try so hard not to cry when his first roll didn't give him the strike he thought he deserved (in fact it was only 2 pins I believe).  I think Dave and I determined we should do this from time to time as a family - maxing out at 2 games.
