family vacation, part 2

 After we finished feeding the ducks and geese, we headed to the bowling alley.  The girls had so much fun!  Heidi really wanted a picture of her and her sister in their new outfits from great grandma Heidi, but someone just would not cooperate...too much to look at and explore!
 Heidi loved every part of the bowling experience starting with the shoes.  They were about 2 sizes too big and she couldn't have cared less.  She loved when they fell off because it meant she could put them back on.
 Savanna was in love with the ball retrieval thing.  Heidi would run over there every time a ball would come and say, "Watch your fingers, Savanna!"  Such a good big sister.  Savanna also loved crawling over the slippery floor.
 Before we discovered the ramp you can roll the ball down, Heidi's ball would move SO SLOW!!  It was hilarious.  We didn't even know if it would make it all the way to the pins.  It was like watching the game in slow motion.  It took all of her strength just to lift the ball to the lane so she didn't have much strength left to get the ball moving.  She was clapping and cheering for all of us.
 The floor was so slippery on Savanna's feet with her little socks and while holding the ball thing, she would always end up sliding underneath.  She would have a death grip on the top and would get a panicked look on her face.  It was funny and no matter how many times it happened, she just kept climbing up.
This was the smallest ball and it was quite a load for this little one to haul, but she never complained.  Heidi did not want to go back to the hotel when we were finished and could have bowled three hours more.  On the way to the hotel she was telling us all the ways she was going to re-create bowling at home.  We have set up the jenga blocks and rolled the foose balls quite a few times since coming home!  It was a fun night for our little family!  We can't wait to take the girls bowling again soon.
