So the kids got a dose of Irish culture over the weekend. Well today they got a taste of American culture. First we had a snack of ice cream bonbons. I was feeling guilty for going to work this morning and Kyle was upset when I left. So what do I do, I give them a bonbon for a snack... Emily LOVED it!! Kyle wasn't so sure about it. I told him it was ice cream with a cookie inside, but he just played with it and ultimately gave it to Emily. He was very proud that he shared. Emily was super excited Kyle shared this!!
After our snack we headed over to the Science museum and played for a little bit. Then we went to the bowling alley downtown for the kids first bowling experience!! They were excited going in, but once they started hearing the balls hit the floor and the pins, they got a little hesitant. But they warmed up pretty quickly. And they didn't have any milk there so the kids had 3 cups of cranberry juice!! That's more juice than they get in a week! But they were happy and well behaved so what can you do?!

Anyhow, they did some great bowling. We had bumper gutters and a little ramp to roll the 6 pound ball down. Kyle & Emily both rolled several spares. And Emily even had a strike! Some of the rolls (no mommy or daddy extra oomph on it) were straight out of Uncle Buck where the little girl goes bowling and the ball stops and rests against the lead pin. Ultimately, all of the balls made it. They were both excited watching the ball roll down the lane as slow as it sometimes went! Emily would proclaim "hit pins" as the ball went rolling! The kids had a great time with this slice of Americana!
