Bowling Anyone?

Maxwell wanted to have a bowling party for his 7th Birthday and boy am I glad. No little boy messes at my house - we left it all at Meridian Lanes...sorry! The pre-party activity was sitting around the computer watching tarantula videos, which Maxwell is totally obsessed with lately. Max says quite often, "I have a challenge question for you. Who would win between a scorpion (or centipede, or mouse, and the list keeps going) and a tarantula?" I never know the answer, so I throw out a guess, and he always knows the answer thanks to videos on NationalGeographic.com! He decided to share some of these videos with his friends before heading off to the bowling alley.


Winner for favorite bowling form goes to cousin Spencer, hands down...I mean up!

I love this series of action shots of Maxwell bowling. Not too shabby for a 7 year old. He comes by it naturally - his Mom won the tournament in her bowling class at BYU, and his Dad was a member of the high school bowling club.

I know it was a bowling party but I really wanted to make a basketball cake! And isn't it great? Obviously little boys don't care about party themes! I think the party was a huge success and I have decided that parties held at other destinations are for sure the way to go.

Happy Birthday Maxwell. You are one of my favorite people in the whole wide world, and obviously I'm biased, but seriously, even if I weren't your Mom I would be jealous of whoever was your Mom!
