We called it a ramp. Not sure if that is officially what it is or not. Anyways, at first, Eli was totally enamored by the idea bowling. Choosing his ball,
hauling it up onto the "ramp",
giving it a shove,
watching it roll....
*hoping* it would knock down some pins,
and then wait for the ball to come spitting back out of the ball return.
Too cool! They even had mini bowling shoes, just the right size for E. (Secretly, that was my favorite thing about the day. Just. Too. Cute!)
Eli did quite well for his first game and nearly doubled my score. (Yes, I am a very bad bowler, but watch out, I'm a mean Wii bowler....too bad it does not transfer to the real deal in any way shape or form.)
We paid for an hour, which meant we had time for a second game. This is officially where Eli's interest was gone, and I do mean GONE. In all honesty after about 4 frames in the first game, he was ready to try something different. Here we were, hoping to squeeze in a second game. Silly us. We hoped a little snack would keep him interested.
Instead, during his turn, he would give the ball an itty bitty little push down the ramp, walk away without watching, all the while saying, "I don't care."
Oh well, it was definitely fun while it lasted, and a great way to beat the heat.
That's so funny! I love bowling and took my sister's kids, but they also lost interest pretty fast. It is good to know that my attention span is a bit longer a child's. Ha!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had fun while it lasted though! :-)
