Bowling

The boys are crazy about bowling right now. They spend most of their play time setting up "pins" (which are mostly train set accessories) and knocking them over with a variety of balls. It all started with Noah bowling on the Wii, and soon after he began setting up his own bowling alleys around the house. You have to watch your step in the kitchen, or you may accidentally knock over some pins and incur the wrath of Noah!

Caleb knocks down pins by holding the ball in his hand.

Noah sets up intricate patterns of pins, sometimes as many as 22 pins.

Going for the spare!

Caleb prefers a more haphazard arrangement of pins.

Nice shot!

Caleb may be the only 2 year old whose vocabulary includes "Strike Turkey!"

Sometimes Brett and I join in the fun. However, we generally have a shorter attention span for bowling than the boys do!

Who knows how long this bowling obsession will last? We think it's really cute.
