Skittle Bowling

My parents came out to visit...yea!  And while they were here we tried to do as many fun activities as possible.  Because of the snow storm that hit and the freezing, freezing, freezing temperatures we had to find some things to do inside.  Our first choice was bowling.  I haven't been bowling in a really long time and this was Cambrie's first experience.  She was so excited to wear her bowling shoes! 

We found the smallest ball possible for her, put up the bumpers, and even found a ramp for her to use.  My dad and Cambrie were sharing a lane and I loved watching them bowl together. 

He would aim the ramp down the lane while Cambrie went to get her golden ball.  It was heavy and she really had to concentrate as she was carrying it, but she never complained and more importantly, never even dropped the ball. 

They would get the ball situated on the ramp then Cambrie would give it a great big push and watch it as it rolled towards the pins. 

We're pretty sure that her lane sloped to the left, but it didn't stop her from getting the second-highest score of the day with a 108.  Definitely high-five worthy.  

 McKenzie was intrigued by the ball retrieving machine and kept pushing the balls around.  I'm really glad she never got her fingers pinched.  

My sister and dad hanging out waiting for their turn. 

My dad had a good day at the bowling alley, but the rest of us had sub-par games (Cambrie beat the rest of us). 

To mix it up a little we added Skittles to the game.  Red = bowling normally, green = use your opposite hand, purple = granny bowling, orange = bowling backwards, yellow = turn in a circle as you're throwing the ball.  The most entertaining Skittle was the yellow by far.  So many times we would spin and the throw the ball directly into the gutter.  We always hopped for the left-gutter-hop at the end of the lane which would give us one or two pins. 

My mom bowling backwards. 

Camille willing her ball towards the pins. 

And on our last frame we all bowled like Superman.  It was hysterical watching everyone throw themselves towards the pins on their bellies.  This is Jeremy right after his release. 

What a fun day at the bowling alley!
