Bowling Family Date Night

Once a week Dave and I go for a date night. This gives us a chance to go out somewhere and eat and have a conversation without any little people. We get to hang out and spent time together as a couple. Currently this ritual is facilitated by the fact that we have a 17 year old living in the house who baby sits the kids for us.

Mimi is away this weekend (starting Thursday morning) so we had no sitter. We opted to go for a family date night rather than forego the experience.

We went bowling at Merival Bowling lanes and it was a BLAST!!! The boys were absolutely in to it and the score board shows it! Monkey scored a 116 and Big C got a 93. Even with the bumpers up this is very impressive! Daddy bowled a 135 and Mommy pulled three strikes out on the last two frames to hit 175.There was lots of cheering for ourselves and for each other.Monkey was having so much fun! You can see the excitement on his face here. You'll also notice that his feet are right off of the ground!
Here's Monkey giving Big C some older brother advice as to how it's done.

Big C was so proud of himself. He really did soooo well. Here he is showing off his 'I'm the greatest' move like Mohammad Ali!
We ordered a pizza for supper almost as we walked through the doors. It arrived in about the third frame and everyone agreed that it was a fabulous pizza.
At the end of the game we decided it best to leave on a high note. We all had a great time and there were plenty of high 5's to be had.
Big C asked in the car already when we'd be going back. With how much fun we all had, it certainly won't be long. Anyone wanna come for the fun???
