Bowling???

Yep.  Bowling.  We were looking for something fun to do with Grandma and Grandpa.  Something they could do easily enough (anyone can bowl, right?) but that didn't require driving a long way or spending too much time out in the hot sun.  We wanted to surprise them but ended up having to tell them where we were taking them when Grandpa started fretting about what shoes to wear and if it would be hot and how they should dress.  He was pretty convinced we were taking them to a local air show but I hadn't even considered that!!

So we went bowling and in spite of Grandma's protests that she was just going to watch, we got her into the fun and I think she enjoyed herself a whole lot more than she expected!!

Grandpa figured it had been about 50 years since he'd been bowling but it all came back to him after a while.

Though he didn't look too happy with this throw.

Motocross Boy had some serious mojo form going after this toss.

And he went into it all smiles.

But it just didn't work out right.

Equestrian Girl wasn't too thrilled with the idea of bowling but got into the swing of it pretty good.

And she had plenty of smiles!
