Saturday night we went bowling with some friends and their kids. We had intentions of doing a nice walk or going to the park for a picnic but the weather did not cooperate. So in a last ditch effort to do something active and fun for the kids, we decided on bowling.
The lane rental was only $22/hr including shoes and games (for all 7 of us); I thought that was a GREAT deal. About 5 minutes into it, the manager came to us and asked if Karter would be bowling. I told him that he wasn't really able to, to which he told me that they had an adaptive shoot that would rest right on his wheelchair. He brought it out and we tried it; it was fantastic! With our help, Karter could roll the ball down the shoot and bowl. He loved watching the ball roll and hit the pins. I am not sure if he was more excited about the rolling ball or all of us cheering for him.
It brought such joy to my heart to be able to find another activity that he was able to participate in with all of us. It was such a fun night, something we will be doing again soon!
Here is a short video that Kurt put together

THIS IS AWESOME!!! I love it! Great job Karter.
And props to the bowling lanes and staff for taking the time to welcome Karter and make it possible for him to enjoy and great night out with family and friends!
Willowbrook Lanes and Aldergrove Lanes have helper ramps too.
