Bowling with Grandpa and Grandma

The grandkids always have a hard time trying to come up with a gift idea at Christmas for my Dad and stepmom.  They have everything they need, so this year, one of them came up with the plan to all go out bowling.  Dad and Ann bowl three times a week and love it, so this was perfect.  Spending time with the whole group of them is what they like best.  They took them out for supper afterward.

All the grandkids were there, except my Andy and Nikki who are in Kentucky, and also Cheri's daughter Halle, who was planning on it, but sprained her ankle playing soccer in the morning and ended up at urgent care.  She was able to make it to the restaurant for supper.

 Here's Aaron helping Alaina and Ruby bowl.

 I think bowling shoes look cutest on little feet.

Alaina got a strike!

I love Dad and Ann's relationship with the girls. They both love them, and the girls love them back!

After bowling, they went out to supper and our daughter Heather had made up awards for highest and lowest bower.  Laura got lowest, but in her defense, Ruby had bowled her first game.  Ann did the best, with Dad a close second.  Ann will be 90 in June, and Dad will be 88 in March.  I think they both do amazingly well.

Everyone had a great time and they plan to do this again.
