Bowling has always been a bit of a challenge for me. But I didn't realize, until I went to a birthday party with Sydney for her friend Celia, that bowling is filled with additional challenges that I'd never thought about.
Like how hard it can be to wait your turn when there are ten girls and only two lanes.
Figuring out how to fit your fingers and thumb in the whole also can be tough. Thank goodness for friends who can show you what to do.
Finally, it's Sydney's turn to bowl!
Of course, my biggest challenge - avoiding the gutter - wasn't even an issue. Guards on the edge of the lanes guaranteed the ball would stay in the lane. So the big question, each time Sydney threw the ball, was - will it actually make it to the pins, or will it run out of momentum half way there?
Attention spans were short, so none of the girls actually finished the game. It's not that they weren't having fun. Sydney's already asking to go back. It's just the promise of pizza, cupcakes, and arcade tokens, proved far more exciting.
