Nathan has now taken up bowling. He first fell in love with it on the Wii--especially after he found out he could beat mom! He spent Tuesday at our neighbor's house and played the bowling game they have in their basement most of the time he was there.
He has learned all about strikes, spares, and splits.
Yesterday he remembered the bowling ball and pins he received for Christmas last year. We found them and I made x's for him upstairs and downstairs, so now we have three lanes in our house (including the Wii). Last night Dad got to be the pin setter for all of the kids.
Tomorrow we plan to go to Eureka so that Nathan can go "real" bowling with his Papa Butter. He's never picked up a real bowling ball, so I am sure he will be surprised that it is heavier than a hollow plastic ball or Wii remote. It may also be an unpleasant realization when he finds out he will not be able to walk right up to the pins before throwing the ball.
Knowing Nathan and sports, I am sure it will not take him long to adapt to the "real" game of bowling!
