Birthday Time

This past weekend was Sam's birthday. He wanted a bowling birthday party and it was a lot of fun. The best part was not having to plan games and activities at our house. The bowling alley had 24 lanes and all of them had birthday parties at them. It was fun to hear 'Happy Birthday' sung over 15 times in the course of 2 hours. I used a Walmart party cake to make the bowling cake. I used a mini-Lego figure holding a gumball with plastic bowling pins from a finger bowling game. One of the ladies at the bowling alley asked where we bought it because she thought it was the coolest bowling cake she had seen. Everyone really enjoyed bowling, must be the WI (even though they were not born there) blood running through their veins. Dan needed a bit of help to get the ball down the lane. Becca really was the best because her ball rarely hit the bumpers where most of the kids the ball bounced back and forth down the lane before hitting the pins. Sam was a crazy bowler but he had a lot of fun anyway. After we were done bowling we had to follow tradition by stopping in the arcade before we left. It was fun to see everyone enjoying a great game of pinball. Sam had a great birthday!
