Plans Interrupted

Our plans included Kiddie Park and cousins, but ended up being bowling with our family. We made it to Bartlesville early to eat and make it to the park when the gates opened at 7:00 PM. However, finishing our meal in Burger King we were over taken by a rain pouring, lightening flashing storm that produced a beautiful rainbow, but also forces the park to close for the evening. So, as a group we caravan around using the latest technology trying to find something we can do. After two failed attempts, Aunt Tracie, Lorelai, Benjamin, Aly, and Cade head back home. We are not prepared to give up the evening, so we continue to meander around this foreign town and wind up at a local bowling alley. I was unsure how the girls would handle this, but was pleasantly surprised at their enthusiasm and ability to play.

We started out with just the bumpers, but soon realized that if we didn't want to be here all night, we had better let them use the ramp. The ramp made the game progress a lot quicker, which got the girls very excited. We had to keep Abigail from dancing in other people's lanes. Emily just wanted to go one turn after another and she wanted to do it all by herself.
