This day I love.......

Having spent the past few weeks in the house it was decided that a well earned family day out was in order.  First things first though, we had to wait for the plasterers to finish.  The ceiling in the front room has now been repaired and we can at long last paint the front room.  That is next week job.  They were really quick and efficient and we took the girls out in time for lunch.

Well we told the girls we were going out for lunch but actually we thought we would go bowling.  Not just any bowling we decided to visit the recently refurbished Hollywood Bowl in Leeds.  We were treated to a VIP bowling lane, which features luxury leather seats and coloured pins! Ours were pink


The girls wasted no time in getting started and to start us off my eldest bowled a strike!  She couldn't stop jumping and I ended up with some blurry photos


My youngest sat patiently, I think planning her next move


My eldest was soon up again and this time got a spare, it seemed pink pins suited her


My youngest seemed to be admitting defeat and consoled herself in a milkshake, they were rather tasty


I could not bowl for health reasons, but had so much fun watching the girls and seeing the excitement when they knocked over the pins


The final scores.  My youngest came third with 77, Daddy got 84 and my eldest a whopping 118!  She got her name on the leader board for the kids and I really wished I had taken a photo.  


After all the glitz and glamour of bowling there could only be one way to eat our lunch


The girls loved the American diner type theme and the glitz of Hollywood.  It was great to spend some time together as a family

This day I love Glitz and Glamour

We were invited to Hollywood bowl for 1 game and a meal in exchange for a post.

During term time I rarely get to spend quality time with my eldest.  These summer holidays I have made sure that 1 day a week my youngest attends nursery so I can have one on one time with my eldest.  She seems to be loving these days with me and each time I try to give her a new experience.  Last week was no different and I took her bowling

bowling day

My parents used to take me bowling when I was younger and I used to love it.  I remember for my birthday, I think my 12th?, my Dad took me to get my own personal ball which I still have.  I was very excited to take my daughter, she however was a little apprehensive. 

The bowling alley was dark and very noisy and she was a little scared.  I knew that she would enjoy it so we just sat and watched until she was ready to play.  Her first ball and she got a strike, that was it she was hooked.

She would jump up and down with excitement as she bowled the balls, and whilst she sometimes used the ramp she also had a few goes at throwing the ball herself.  She didn't want to stop and even did most of my turns for me.  

We bowled together and I let her lead, let her tell me when she wanted my help or if she wanted to bowl by herself.  When she did bowl by herself I was more than happy to sit and watch her, I loved it when she would sit on the floor to watch the ball.

She has enjoyed it so much that she has asked to go bowling again next week!

This day I love First time bowling
