Bowling

I met a new mom at playgroup on Tuesday whose husband is also in the military. They just arrived from Ft. Leavenworth. We hit it off and decided to meet the following day at the science museum. The kids always love going there so even though we had been twice the week before they couldn't wait. They did have to wait though since I have a midwife appointment first. Bohdin said the appointment was boring and I couldn't agree more. Hopefully it's the last one. I next one is scheduled for next Friday.

The science museum was packed with kids. Those day camp kids get around. There were at least five groups there. The kids still had a good time. Bohdin liked the obstacle course that was part of the new exhibit and did it 30 times. After over an hour of playing I had to drag the kids out of there. Nyla was actually kicking and screaming. My time was running out on the parking meter and I wasn't willing to get a ticket so she could do one more thing for who knows how long.

Yesterday I took the kids bowling. It was their first time. Nyla said she loved the game but Bohdin didn't appear to love it as much. He became frustrated and sad that he couldn't get a strike. At one point as I was consoling him Nyla had a spare. Luckily Bohdin didn't notice. Nyla was using the ramp while Bohdin did his best to throw the ball. Nyla stopped using the ramp at one point but she had so little force behind it that it would take about one minute for the ball to reach the pins. The ball even stopped rolling at one point halfway down the lane and needed to be rescued. Bohdin did a lot better the second game than the first but it didn't matter to him. He just wanted a strike. I don't know when we'll go back. Free bowling lasts throughout the summer.
