Abbydoo Turns Six!

Molly’s sweet little friend Abby recently turned six, so today we headed back to our old hometown to celebrate. Abby had a bowling party and wow, did the kids have fun! Who’da thought?

Molly couldn’t wait to get started. She grabbed her ball and flung it down the lane.

She was a natural. Look at where that ball is heading! Of course it did hit the bumpers once or twice before it hit the pins but she looks pretty good to me.

Sam wanted in on the action so badly and I had to keep telling him that this was a game for the big kids.

Molly offered to help him bowl. This was such a big step for her. She usually wants everything for herself and definitely wants to make sure that she has more than baby brother. So when she made the offer, I let the two of them bowl together.

That’s all it took for Sam. He was hooked. Throwing a ball across the room to knock down pins at the other end. What is not to like? It has all of his favorite things. Balls, action, noise, destruction. Repeat.

Just look how happy he is.

Sam and Molly bowled frame ….

after frame, after frame together.

And in the end Molly ended up with the high score!

Like any good party there was food.

Friends.

And a little birthday cake.

Look who’s sneaking and peeking at the cake.

Yum!

A two hour trip back home with two kids coming off of a sugar high. This ought to be fun.
