Bowling!

Santa brought the twins a Little Tikes bowling set, which they LOVE. I think Gavin likes it so much because the whole point is to knock down the pins - usually we are telling him NOT to knock stuff down. Gavin decided to bowl using our stability ball...it's pretty easy to get strikes that way! If there happened to be any pins still standing - which did happen, surprisingly - he just slid into them like he was sliding into home.

Setting up the pins:





Getting some tips from Grandpa Cermak (holding the ball that actually came with the game):




"Here I come!"








Evie tried rolling the ball on the floor and got a spare. She liked setting up the pins, too:




She didn't have quite as much enthusiasm for bowling as Gavin did - pretty soon she was ready for some sausage and a story with Nana:

We have played the game again and again. Gavin has done really well taking turns. Evie just rolls the ball and usually misses all the pins, but she and Gavin both find that hilarious for some reason. As long as they're laughing, I'm happy!
