"Night Time" Bowling

The MEDDAC Family Readiness Group (FRG) hosted a family bowling night.  A bunch of people from the lab were going, so we thought it would be fun.  Free bowling and free food, woo hoo! 
 
Amelia called it "night time" bowling because  all the lights were turned off.  There were black lights, disco balls, and flashing lights in the private bowling area.  She frequently walked back and forth from the regular, lighted bowling alley to our dark, private room and said "night time."  She would then shield her eyes from the bright lights and walk into the lighted area and say "light."
 
Amelia was apprehensive and had to be coerced into rolling the ball down the roller bar, but after her second turn, so was hooked!  She played two full games and got three spares.  After a while she even started saying "hit the whites" and got disappointed when she missed.
 
He favorite part was choosing which color ball she wanted for each turn.  After each roll, our group was nice enough to clap and cheer her on.  She loved the attention and was all smiles and giggled with delight.  She also gave us high-fives and fist bumps after her turn was over.  It was super cute! 
 
We were surprised at how much fun she had!  Who would have thought that bowling would be fun for a two year old? 
 
Alex crawled around everywhere and cruised all over the furniture.  He really enjoyed all the lights, sounds, and new faces.  He was also getting a lot of attention and was acting like a little ham ;0)  We had a great night!
   
Amelia used bumpers and a metal rolling bar

A few random pics I took before we left for bowling:
