The annual Junior Achievement Bowl-A-Thon was yesterday. So Stan and I dusted off our bowling balls and shoes and headed to the lanes. We took Kirsten with us. She'd never been to a bowling alley. At first, she saw people throwing balls down the lanes and said, "I wanna' play with the bouncy balls!" I let her try to pick up a ball so she would realize how heavy they were, but she still wanted to try. We'll have to take her for a game of bumper bowling.

She did behave very well for being there almost 3 hours with nothing much to do except people-watch. She was very clingy to me, though. Didn't want me to go up and bowl. But I was really impressed with her behavior. I'm glad we took her.
