This was Gray's first time to bowl (other than with the toy bowling set we have in our living room) and he loved it.
My co-workers Kim and Lindsay about to get our bowl on!
Our second team: Amy, Michelle, Liam, and Emily. Michael was off playing a race car video game with Holt and Gray, but they bowled too.
Whoever invented this bowling ramp thingy for kids is a genius! It made the games go a lot faster and the boys had so much fun since they weren't getting gutter balls every time. We didn't even have to use the bumpers over the gutters.
It didn't matter if Gray knocked one pin down or all of them, he was equally enthusiastic and displayed lots of high fives and fist pumping.
After we bowled our games, we ended the day with a group of friends at Michelle and Rob's house. It was a gorgeous evening for a cookout on their deck and we even attempted an impromptu slumber party for Liam and Gray. Usually, we put the kids to sleep in separate rooms and then we relocate Gray to our house when all the parents are ready to go home.
Michelle and I took turns reading the boys books and they were excited about the new sleeping arrangements until it was time for us to leave the room. We could hear Liam crying and Gray talking to him to get him to calm down. It was actually pretty adorable. After about 25 minutes of trying, we decided they weren't quite ready for this (then Liam got upset again that Gray wasn't going to be there in the morning to have cereal when he woke up...so sweet). I think the fact that neither boy had had a nap that day and both were overly tired may have also set us up for failure.
Oh well, soon enough they'll be begging us to have one another spend the night.
