Bowling in Koreatown

As one of Nicholas' birthday treats, we said that we'd do anything he wanted to do.  John had all sorts of ideas about what he wanted to do, especially ice skating.  We had to break it to him that it was Nicholas' choice.  Nicholas chose miniature golf.  Sadly, we had to tell him that it was raining and that it wouldn't be too much fun to golf in the rain.  I was running out of suggestions when Maureen mentioned bowling.  Immediately, he said, "Yes, I want to go bowling."  Both have been dying to go bowling since Mother's Day when we stopped in to the Mission Bowling Alley to check it out.

Grammy even joined us for some bowling in Koreatown.  She said that she hadn't been bowling since high school which was many moons ago.  The boys enjoyed themselves quite a bit.  John and Nicholas didn't use any help at first and rolled the balls very, very, very slowly down the lanes.  The attendant was kind enough to bring us some ramps to help with it.  They really liked that as well because they got to push it down a hill.  They also loved the ball return machine and called it the bowling ball train.  Honestly, they could have watched that and been as happy as could be.  In any event, we found out that they both liked bowling and it was relatively inexpensive.

John was pushing to go to Old MacDonalds for lunch, but we thought better of that.  Grammy treated us all to Woodranch at the Farmer's Market.  As usual, Nicholas ate his bacon and french fries, but he did get a very special treat from our server.  She brought out an ice cream sundae with a candle.  He liked that quite a bit.
