Pudge's First Field Trip

Today, LC celebrated her first field trip by accompanying her preschool class to a local bowling alley.

Miss Ann has been talking about bowling and everyone has been practicing bowling (along with other sports) at school for weeks, so all the preschoolers arrived ready to roll.

Our buddies looked AWESOME in their special shoes.

But, since rentals didn't drop down into infant sizes, Pudge got special permission to bowl in her own tennis shoes.

Miss Ann took time to remind everyone of the bowling process...

And, in true hero fashion, Dad surprised Pudge by showing up to make sure her first bowling experience occurred under his direct advisement.  (It was a good move.  He's seen me bowl.)

Things were off to a great start...

until...

This ended badly.

Multiple times.

So, once again, Miss Ann saved the day by suggesting Pudge utilize the ramp for the rest of her bowling turns.

It was the perfect solution!  Pudge bowled a strike, picked up a couple spares, and ended with a very respectable score of 88.

Not that she was aware.  Like her mother, Pudge's bowling passion went lukewarm after she discovered the establishment served french fries and slurpies.

We had a super time and I have a feeling the bowling bug has bitten.



Way to go, Pudge!

We thought you bowled like a star.

  1. I think she bowls like a super star, given that the ball must weigh half as much as Pudge!

  2. 88 are you kidding me I am SURE that is higher than I have ever bowled. Way to go LC! Looks like a great field trip.

  3. Do you think they would let me use the ramp next time I bowl...seriously the last score I can remember was somewhere around a 70! Anyway, I think the french fries and slurpees would be calling my name :-)

  4. That is adorable. I've got to say, I'm really looking forward to Easter and the end of your Lent exile on FB. (I do see you've been busy on Pinterest, though) :)

  7. Way to go Pudge! I love her enthusiasm and adore how she clapped her hands after every turn. She's too cute. :)

    Of course, I do believe Pudge has me beat as well; my bowling skills pretty much suck. :P

  8. Pudge is just awesome, and Justin is such an attentive dad. But the kid that goes running across screaming in the background cracks me right up!

    1. Oh, he was one of MANY speed bowlers with creative flourish. Yet another advantage of being able to independently lift a bowling ball. It was QUITE a show.
