On a cloudy and autumn-like day, we decided to go bowling at Strike Entertainment in Petone. Sona coordinated with some friends who also have a boy similar to Aiden’s age. We had a great time bowling almost two games (Aiden got cranky towards the end) while chatting, drinking, and eating. Aiden used the bowling contraption for toddlers to practice his stroke and managed to get a couple of spares. Towards the end, Aiden found the basketball hoop game and we played a round of that. He seemed to enjoy the experience and even danced a few times and hugged his friend Lucas before we left.
