The other week, Michael decided to do something a little different with Evelyn and I and took us bowling! I haven't been bowling in soooo long! Evelyn was so excited! She couldn't hardly pick up her 8 lb ball by herself, but there was something so thrilling about being able to throw something that heavy at things and knock them down and...have your parents CHEER you on! But she was young enough to not understand the game at all, so after a few turns, she started taking everything as a matter of course. 
For instance, this was her reaction when she got her strike!
She got one strike and a couple of spares! Pretty impressive for someone who's throwing the ball at around 2 mph! (I might have actually won her if my pride allowed me to use the bumpers too. Granted, I could hardly lift my 8 lb ball either...)
And at the end of the game, when she beat us by 20-30 points, this was her victory dance:
The coolest thing I ever saw while bowling was when Michael was trying to show off when we were first married. He chucked the ball as hard as he could with a twist, but he threw it right into the gutter. Just as he was about to turn away in disgust, the twist popped the ball back out of the gutter and he ended up getting a strike!
