Bowling with the boys

We took the boys out for a "family date night" and left Elise with a babysitter. Elise has become very attached to Dan and I (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and it makes going places difficult. We haven't left all 3 kids with a babysitter, just Grandma and Grandpa. We decided to take the boys out and leave Elise home since usually we take Elise with us wherever we go. We went out to dinner and then went bowling. It was the first time the boys had bowled. It was a little interesting at first. Some of the balls didn't even make it down the lane :) The boys got a little restless at first since it was slow moving. The workers of the bowling alley must have seen us struggling and offered us one of the bowling assistants. It worked great and the boys seemed to have a much more fun time. Dan ended up beating me in the last frame with 2 strikes and a 9! We ended the night with ice cream. It was a great night and we look forward to doing a family date night again!
