Just a few days ago, I was thinking how great it is that I haven’t been sick this winter. Apparently I celebrated too soon, because an ugly cough took up residence in my formerly healthy lungs and now I’m feeling pretty miserable. I don’t like being sick! Blah.
So, to cheer myself up, I started looking at family pictures. One thing I love about my husband is that he’s such a great dad. He and Annabelle have a daddy-daughter date every week, and one thing they love to do together – which makes me giggle just thinking about it – is bowl. I am SO not a bowler, and about the last thing I want to do is go sit and watch people drop heavy balls down a slippery lane, but every once in awhile my husband cajoles me into coming along for the ride. And I’m always glad I did.
If anyone has been to Retro Bowl in Liberty, you’ll immediately notice the blinking florescent lights – and the “retro” feel is certainly a tad dizzying……… but the NICEST people are usually around to cheer on my little bowler, and that alone is pretty fun to watch – though mostly I just like to see the two loves of my life having a wonderful time together. Retro style.
(The photos below are from October of last year.)
Obviously, Annabelle has a natural gift when it comes to technique…
But then, sometimes THIS happens… because even bumper bowling isn’t fool-proof? Who knew! Tears threaten, but she looks for Daddy…
And I love how all he has to do is come stand beside her, and she is ready to go for it one more time. A little moral support!
Eventually, it’s time for french fries. Because a date with Daddy always involves french fries.
Yummy. I love these two.
