So Amy and I naively thought that it would be fun to bring the kids bowling. C'mon, we're going nuts all winter with the kids cooped up inside. So let's just say that bowling left me with no energy to 'spare'. If I say fiasco you have to take the word as no exaggeration for the description of today's bowling... If someone ever proposes taking two 2-year olds and 2 four year olds bowling. Just say no. Actually Jake and Hailey (the other 4 year old) were okay, but it was hard for them to wait and take turns. And thank god the machines in the arcade were not turned on!
Aidan and James (the other 2 year old) however were a mess. Aidan did well for a little while. He got such a kick out of it. But once the thrill was gone, that was it. James had no interest at all and accidentally ran onto the slippery part of the lane and when we called for him to come back, he lost concentration and fell. He hit his head sooo hard on the wood lane. I could practically feel it. Luckily I travel with chocolate chip cookies and one of them instantly helped him. So we left early--before our paid hour was up. and we headed right to McDonalds. Little did we know everyone in Chester decided to go to McDonald's for lunch, also. But imagine sitting in a McDonald's parking lot (with the playland clearly visible) and telling the kids "Sorry, too crowded" so we went in. I will say they did better after eating. But wow. I'm not even sure Amy and I got a coherent sentence out all day. It was so tiring.
