Happy Birthday Kimi

Saturday May, 24th

OK, so I got a bit behind. I forgot I had pictures that Mitch didn't.

Kimi turned 5 this year and she wanted to go bowling. RJ was invited to go along so we got to go to. We had a blast!
This is the sign over the cashier's head. Gotta love the English here. I hope I don't speak that way when I get home.
This is where you get your bowling shoes. You pick your size (based on the length of your foot in cm) and push the red button. A pair of shoes comes out the bottom. If they don't fit, you but them in the return box and pick another size.
A place by your lane to store your shoes and hang your coat.
Then the fun began. The kids used a 5 ball (I was just going to write 5lbs but I am really not sure if it was pounds or kg)
At first daddy and I had to help RJ, but shortly after we started, they put up the bumpers so the kids balls would reach the end of the lane.

Kimi had a blast bowling!

Every once and awhile, the light would go down and they would have a contest. If you bowled a strike during the contest, you won a prize. Part of that prize was getting your picture taking with your group in front of the lanes. But not just any picture...
Yes, that is Mitch as a bowling pin!! Dia (the guy on Mitch's left) got a strike and LET Mitch wear the prize for the photo.

then the kids wanted to give it a try...




and then some how I got suckered into wearing it.
I think Dia actually ended up with a little pool game as his prize, but I think these pictures (especially of Mitch) are priceless!!


Thanks Kimi for inviting RJ to go bowling for your birthday!!
