momstown kiddies have a blast bowling!

We are always looking for fun things for our momstown kiddies to do.  We love our craft days, song time and other fun events, but sometimes it's fun to get the kids out exploring and trying things they might not otherwise try!

Sometimes kids are nervous to try new things and sometimes mom is!

Going bowling was something that lots of our moms didn't think their little ones were ready for, but by all the fun that they had yesterday we proved that even at 18 months you can have a blast bowling!!

We invaded Bowlerama in Barrie and got the kids ready in their bowling shoes.  Bowlerama was so great to us and were so prepared for the rush of little ones!

There was so much chaos by our large momstown group, but the kids didn't seem to mind!  Waiting their turn was the hardest part about the day... and learning to stay on their own lane!

The kids were excited and some didn't understand at first about rolling the ball, and there were lots of crashes as the 5 pin balls were thrown!










As the morning went on the kids learned to be patient and wait their turn, to be patient and wait for the balls to come back and to roll their ball as hard as they could to get a "goal" as my little one called it.

Watching how much fun the kids were having was the best part of my morning.  This is an event we will be repeating again for sure!  Hearing all the giggles and squeals of joy was so awesome.

Even the moms got in on the fun when the kids were winding down with a snack.  Some of them have some great skill and we will be putting that to the test next month when the moms head out bowling!!!

Smiles all around

This week some of our moms and tots paid a visit to the Victoria Village Retirement Home in Barrie.

It was a truly an amazing morning full of smiles and laughter. It was so heartwarming to see the little ones interact with the seniors just like they would with their own little friends.

The ladies were bowling when we got there and the kids were so excited to be able to take part and take their turn to bowl!

It was so sweet to see the young one cheer on the residents and to clap and yell "score!" when one of them knocked down the pins.

As the kids warmed up they even wanted to help pass the ball to the next player and set up the pins that had fallen.

As we got to know the lovely ladies that let us join them for bowling, we met learned that Reena, a long time resident had just turned 100 this past September, as she held little Daxton, who was born this past October, it was an awe inspiring moment when we all realized that there before us was 100 year of living life.


Looking forward to our next visit and more smiles and memories!
