    Default My grandson's first strike

    First time bowling today. I talked my step-daughter into letting him do the Batman bumper league. Originally she said no because she didn't want her kids getting treated different than each other. His sister doesn't like to bowl more than three frames. I asked if that meant when she wanted to take ballet if he had to take that also. She looked at me and said he could bowl! lol

    That's awesome, It's even better that you were able to get that first strike on camera.

    We took our nieces and nephew bowling a few times this summer and the youngest one (who's 5) got a strike on her first ball and did the best celebration dance ever. I wish I would have been able to capture that like you did.

    I was coaching so it was the only time I had the camera on. Nothing but pure luck with the timing.
    He looked at me like I was crazy when I made him use the correct fingers. Now to actually ROLL the ball lol

    We worked today after his 'league' on a 1 step approach. I also invited a 9 year old girl to join us. She is too old for the bumper league in my opinion but lacks the training to move up. They both were able to at least get the ball down the lane without hitting the bumpers when we were done. They bowled a game each and the alley didn't charge me a dime
