Dennis went bowling for the first time today. We'd bought Groupons at the beginning of the summer and were facing their imminent expiration, so we met up with Gran, Pop, and Gigi and headed out for lunch and bowling. He's actually pretty good at it, as it turns out. Luckily for us, they put out the bumpers to prevent the balls from going in the gutter (greatly improving all of our scores). Dennis' technique evolved from rolling the ball between his legs to hurling it a ways in the air before it hit the lane and rolled to the pins. He bowled a 68 and then a 71, I think. Gigi won the first game, David the second one, and we all had so much fun! We were carrying our handy dandy Clanton coupon books, and we stopped to use a coupon at the Delicious Bakery (very aptly named) in Alabaster, where Dennis sugared up on a strawberry/caramel muffin before heading back to Clanton in time for Taekwondo. He got his uniform tonight and it vastly improved his performance. I went and got my own workout while he was in class, and David thought he'd stay to watch until Dennis informed him "I'm grown up enough to do this all by myself--you need to leave!". David did just that, but we much preferred this to the last class when we had to beg him to participate! It's all about the costume for Dennis!
