Sophia's Bowling Field Trip

Sophia's preschool class went on their annual end-of-the-year field trip to a local bowling alley this last week.  This was her second time ever bowling, and she was SO excited to be able to go with all of her friends.  Steve stayed home with Jack and I took Sophia by myself to spend a little quality time with my four-year-old growing girl.  (When Samantha went with her preschool class two years ago, I was 8 months pregnant with Jack, so I opted to stay home and Steve took Samantha).

Letting it roll:

There were four kids per lane, and Sophia managed to be on a team with some of her best friends -- including Claire.

Sophia rotated between bowling the ball "normally" and using the ramp to help her a little bit:

Sophia and Allie; Allie is also in Sophia's dance class:

After bowling a full ten frames (and let's face it, the kids were just about 'over it' by frame 7!), they were able to have lunch at the bowling alley.  Every preschooler's dream lunch -- pizza and lemonade.

Following lunch, we headed back into town to spend some time at the park.  It was a beautiful day!

The humidity was high ... and so were Sophia's curls:

And Mrs. Hick's did not disappoint.  Everyone got to have a popsicle (or two!).  Sophia may have been the first in line!

Sophia and her friend, Gabby:

And a special surprise for me -- fresh-picked dandelions!

Just two more weeks of school left for this girl!
