Well when it's too hot outside to do anyting else but swimming, we turn to the bowling alley for a couple of hours of fun. The kids wonder why they don't do as well as they do on the Wii game system. Kayla just can't understand why she doesn't get any strikes. On the Wii she can get 4 or 5 strikes in a row and she's not even trying. But when we actually go to the blowing alley then it's a different story. The boys like watching the score board. It tells you the speed of the ball as it goes down the lane. Kayla does her best....sbe doesn't want any help. So she lofts it hard as she can and sometimes it goes faster than other times. This last slow record was .88 miles per hour. The boys just loved it. At one point her ball actually even rolled back to the starting position and she had to throw it out again. What a trooper she is.
You have to keep in mind. This was a 7 pound ball.....Kayla only weighs about 33 pounds. So that's about 1/4 to 1/5 of her weight she's trying to carry and then throw with some speed.
This is how she stood after throwing the ball each and every time she was up. Girls are just so cute.
A little bend of the hips always helps the ball go in the right direction.

Cute! I love the hip to the right. That has to be how I look from behind when I'm bowling. None of my kids are even close to 33 pounds. That's tiny. But what a fun way to stay out of the heat.
