April fun

Maria had a jewelry party to go to last Saturday, so Nate and I had the afternoon to ourselves. We decided to give another shot to bowling. Nate tried this once before, but is more familiar with Wii bowling than at the alley.
While he's only using a 6lb ball, it's still a bit too much for him. He tried throwing it, kicking it, dropping it etc. Quite creative on how to get it started down the lane.
Had more fun waiting for the ball and having me yell at him not to get his head stuck or hand squished in the ball area. He also loved the "control" pad for entering names and scores. He wanted to throw the ball, run back and control his ball with it as it went down the lane.
At least he tried to get his fingers in the ball, even though he couldn't really swing the ball.
While not a strike, certainly one of his better shots.
Not too bad of a game for him. I know lot's of people that can't break 80 bowling. Of course they probably don't get his benefit of having the gutter rails up.


Springtime means the pets are shedding. We speed this process up a bit with our cat. Ohana went to the groomer for a haircut. She's so much friendlier when she's all shaved.
As we've restarted the biggest loser weight loss contest, we are spending more time at the gym. For the first time Nate has been begging to go to the gym and it helps motivate on the days we don't want to go. Here he is racing Logan up the rock wall.
Nate thinks the two reasons to go to the gym is for the rock wall and the balloon he usually gets as we leave.
