Syd's first time bowling...

So Barb and Andy have been visiting all week and on Friday (2/23) Holly flew in from FL to visit as well. We were looking for something to do on Saturday (all the snow is gone so sledding was out) and had heard about this cool family oriented bowling alley nearby, so we decided to check it out. The place is called Interstate Bowling Alley in Rossford (http://www.interstatelanes.com/) and it is pretty cool. They have automatic bumpers on most of their lanes that come up when it is the child's turn. You put everyone's name in the computer and let the person up front know the children's names and they preset it so that whenever it is that child's turn the bumpers automatically come up in the gutters (then go back down for the next person). They also have really light balls that they give to younger kids (they keep them in the back office). There are some really good deals there too. Anyway, Saturday night the six of us (Zack, me, Syd, Barb, Holly, and Andy) went bowling. This was Syd's first time bowling, but she did really well. She has this very original run, stop, and drop method of getting the ball to the pins. She actually earned a pretty good score (of course with almost no gutter balls, we all could). She picked up a spare at one point (picture 2), which was very exciting for all of us. But she didn't pick up a split (pictures 3 & 4). As you can see, she had a ball (get it?).
