At the Law School, I am a mentor for the International LLM Program. (LLM is a degree that foreigners, mostly, who have a law degree in their home country, pursue in the US). A couple times a year, the Program hosts social events to allow international students to hang out with the locals. Last night, we had free bowling on campus with pizza. So, we went with Isaac and Austin. While all of the Chinese and Korean ladies fawned over Austin and took pictures with him, Isaac learned to bowl. We helped him a few times with his 6-pound ball, but after a while, he decided that he could do it himself. Here is a video of that:
Yes, Isaac was wearing socks in the video; they did not have bowling shoes his size (shocking!!!). I was very impressed that he tried to not cross the line. After he wanted to chase his ball down the first time, I told him that they wouldn't let him any pizza if he crossed the line. Apparently, it worked. We used bumper lanes, but I think Isaac bowled around a 50. Not too bad for a almost-2-year old.
Mmmmm.....PIZZA!!!
Isaac and his ball.
Waiting (and waiting and waiting) for the ball to reach the pins!

That looks fun! My kids LOVE to go bowling!
Nice work Issac, I am impressed with his skills and with the great pizza incentive/threat.
Geddy's been wanting to go bowling ever since he saw a Reading Rainbow episode about it. We haven't taken him just because we weren't sure we'd find a ball small enough. How big is Isaac? Geddy is big for his age, but Isaac seems pretty tall too!
