Ten pin bowling with a 3 year old?!?

Yep that's right... one of Aiden's friends from playgroup had his 3rd birthday party at the ten pin bowling alley. I was really concerned at how Aiden would go... if he would be interested in bowling.... if he'd be feral or not... Anyway, it was fantastic! They have this awesome setup for kids with a ramp they push the bowl down and they put up rails to stop the bowl from going into the gutters. When we first walked into the place Aiden took one look at everyone bowling and just about drove me mental insisting he had a turn. The hardest part was keeping him from taking everybody else's turn and when it finally came around to his go he wasn't happy with just two bowls. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it all turned out. Apparently the birthday boy thought it was pretty cool too.



After they'd finished the bowling Aiden discoverd the arcade where these racing car games were. Thankfully he didn't get the whole concept that you're supposed to put money in but he happily spent a REALLY long time pretending he was Roary the Racing Car.
