Yesterday James and his classmates walked from their school, across lots, to the local bowling alley. There they enjoyed an hour of bowling in a nearly deserted building. Bumpers were set up, to eliminate gutter balls and increase the scores. A tubular ramp was brought out so all the kids had to do was hoist the ball to the top and help it roll down the ramp.
Seven little boys shrieked with glee and played for almost an hour. They took turns, they brought the two bowling balls to their pals. They helped push the ramp from lane 1 to lane 2 and back again. They learned a new word: "spare." They cheered, jumped, and ran. By the end of the session, they were taking each others' turns and bowling in whichever of the two lanes took their fancy.
Heck, some even decided they didn't need the ramp anymore and gave the ball a push, after which it s-l-o-w-l-y meandered down the lane, lazily careening off a bumper or two, until (just as the adults gave up hope) it would give a last gasp and knock over 6 pins at the end of the lane.
New to me: The world's cutest little bowling shoes (size 10):
Little boys and bowling: perfect!
