Bowling!

We just had a wonderful weekend! It was pretty simple, and we didn't even leave Bossier City!

We spent some time just milling around the mall for a little while. Then Mira talked us into going into the arcade for a bit.


Riding the little pink bus.

We actually put money in it this time - we were feeling CRAZY that Saturday!

A little skateboarding.

From there, we headed to lunch at one of our favorite little spots - Don Juanz. Mira chows on the chips and salsa and loves their black beans, too!


She gets distracted by the t.v.'s just like her Daddy.

Mmmmm....chips and salsa!

After Mira's nap, we took Mira bowling (Kenny's great idea). She has been to a bowling alley a couple of times before, but this was the first time we've taken her since she's big enough to actually participate. We went to Holiday Lanes; they have the ramps for little ones to push the balls down as well as the automatice gutter guards.

I thought the noise level and number of people might overwhelm her and upset her a little, but she didn't even seem to notice. I'm glad that phase seems to be coming to an end! We all had so much fun!

The family next to us were totally enamored with Mira (and why wouldn't they be?), and we all thoroughly enjoyed watching her jump and cheer as her ball (slowly) rolled down the lane. She got SO excited! It was a good test of her patience and turn-taking skills - she wanted it to be her turn every time. But, she was very good and waited her turn - no tantrums, just excitement!


Tot-sized ramp (in the shape of a dinosaur).

She watches it all the way.

Great form Kenny!

That, apparently, means "I just got a strike!" (Who knew?)



More excited toddler.

Discussing ball choice with Daddy.

Mira says, "No more pictures!" 

Kenny won (as usual) - he bowled three strikes! And I broke a nail (as usual) - maybe next time I'll remember to trim them before I go...


He didn't beat me that bad!  ;)

Sunday was a pretty lazy day - ran a couple of errands, but mostly hung out at the house. We did have a  pretty ruckus dance party. Those are frequent here at the Wolfe residence. Mira likes to "shake her bum-bum."

Overall - a great weekend for our little family!
