Bushel and A Peck: Birthday, Bowling and BIG Time Fun!!

Thursday was Aunt Manmae (Mandy)'s 30th Birthday!! She decided that to celebrate she wanted to go bowling. So, Saturday afternoon our family met at the bowling alley for a party!!

No matter what age it says on the cake, Aunt Manmae still feels like a 7 year old! At least she has the same idea - there were two other birthday parties going on at the same time both for kids 7 or younger!! It was awesome!!!

Vivi was very excited to go "Bowling Ball"!! She even picked out a cheerleading outfit for Birthday Bear to wear!

She was nervous at first and wanted me to help her but she had the hang of it in no time. After a while she turned around to me and waved me back saying "I got this Mom, I got this!!"

The ramp gave her a little extra boost! Look at that form!!!

This was AWESOME! When she said she didn't need me to help anymore I decided to film one so her Daddy could see her (he had to speak at a conference all weekend:( So I took a ton of pictures). Anyway, this was the first video - A STRIKE!!!!!!!! All by herself!!

Yeah Vivi!! On the drive home she said "I wasn't sure about Bowling Ball at first but it turns out I was good!!" And she was! She almost tied Mimi on one game.

This video was after a while when she had it down! Look at her swish those little hips as she walks up to the ramp! So cute!!

This was doing her Spare move! She started our second game with 2 spares and a strike!!

Addie was not the slightest bit intimidated! She went for it from the first try!

Line it up...

PUSH! Look at those fingers!!

As you can see in this one, Addie was really more into everything else going on. At one point she was playing with several of the other little kids from one of the birthday parties!

This was a 7 pound ball. She kept saying "I have strong muscles!!"

Addison is such a ham! She would walk up to the ramp with the ball and say "You have to take a picture first!"

Cousin Emily helping cheer Addie on!

After the first game, Addison decided she'd rather investigate the rest of the bowling alley. She found that there was an air vent on the front of the ball rack that would blow her hair in her face!

She played with her G. I LOVE her face in this one!! Can you tell she Adores him??!!

We had SO much fun and as usual I was picture happy so without captions here's a few of my favorites from the zillion I took and some from Aunt Manmae's camera too!!
