It's Been A Long Time Bowling

This past weekend we decided to go bowling. My sister and her family were back in town and we all decided to go bowl. Aaron has always loved bowling. For some reason, even as a toddler, he has been fascinated by the atmosphere, the lights and the sounds of the bowling alley (maybe it also has something to do with the SNACKS at the bowling alley).

So we all piled up in our cars and headed down to Plano Bowl. We didn't have to wait long for a lane and all the kids were excitedly putting on their bowling shoes while others picked their bowling balls-some pink some green and some electric blue.
Some kids with bumper guards, others without. I decided not to bowl and instead watch everyone have fun.

It's times like these that I love recording our outings. I know in the future this will be something we will look back upon and smile. Memories made with family. Isn't that what life is all about? Laying back at the end of the day and replaying the happenings of that time. The time we all laughed when Ellison dropped the bowling ball as she was about to throw it down on the lane, the time that Aaron busted out dancing to the hip hop music as the disco lights turned on and everyone was glowing in the black light!
The time we all sat around a tiny table and ate cheese nachos and shared pizza and laughed.
And knowing that my brother in law would be deployed back to Iraq the very next day, made it all the more memorable.
So there you go; some pics of our fun bowling night.
