Snow Bowling Kate and Mim-Mim

# Lift me up into the sky

# See the world through my eyes

# Mimiloo is where we'll fly

# And the chances are you're

# All I'll ever need

# Funny bunny friend of mine

# We will always be

# You and me, Kate and Mim-Mim. #

Mim-Mim, it's snowing. You know what that means.

We can go outside and play in the snow.

We can go sledding or we can build a snow-fort

or maybe we can go snow bowling.

Sounds like great fun, Kate

but I don't think there's enough snow outside to play in yet.

Huh, we'll have enough snow later though, won't we, Dad?

Depends on what the clouds say. They're the ones who make it.

Well, I say, "Come on, clouds. Keep making that snow. I need lots!"

I'll go and check the weather report.

I know where else we can play in the snow.

Mim-Mim, funny bunny friend, it's time to come to life again!

Kate and Mim-Mim, me and you, let's twirl away to Mimiloo!

You know what's great about playing in the snow?

The snow!

No matter what you do with snow, it's fun.

And it's even more fun when our friends can play in it with us.

-Come on.

-Whoosh!

HE SNORES

Poor Gobble. He must have planted moon flowers again last night

-and now he's sleepy.

-Aw, that's too bad.

-He loves coming with us to Winter Waterfalls.

-To go snow bowling?

Snow bowling?! Why didn't you say so, Kate? That's my favourite sport.

Tack can join us too. We'll fetch him on the way.

You're not sleepy any more.

THEY LAUGH

There's no bowling like snow bowling.

Some hikes are long, some hikes are tiring. That hike was both.

Look! Snow Bowling Alley. Who's ready to play?

-Ooh, me! Me, me, me!

-Wow, just look at those bowling pins.

Such handsome fellows.

Seems a shame we have to know them down.

A shame for them, because they are going down,

or should I say, SNOWING down? I just love snow jokes.

-Bowling ball, anyone?

-I prefer mine without teeth marks.

Kate, could we have a little practice bowl?

-We might be a little rusty.

-Rusty? Us? No way!

OK. Maybe a little rusty.

Let's try that again.

Well, better. Who's next?

There are so many things to consider when bowling. How heavy is the ball?

How fast is the wind blowing? Is that an itch I'm feeling?

Itchy toes and bowling do not mix.

Oh. I'll give it more oomph next time.

-Strike-a-rooney!

-Um...

Kate, I thought it was called a strike

when you knock all the pins down.

It is, but my way of saying it is way more fun.

Gobble is good, isn't he? He's so good,

I bet he could bowl a strike backwards in his sleep upside down.

I tried upside down. It didn't work.

I have a new bowling game I want to try.

-Let's get some more snowmen pins.

-Ooh, is the game count the snowmen?

-Because I could count really high.

-No, Mim-Mim.

We're all going to bowl on the same team.

Together, we have to knock down all these pins and we each get one turn.

-Are you ready?

-Absolutely.

Start us off, Kate.

Whoo hoo! Hooray!

My turn!

Oh. Aa... Aa-choo!

Excuse me...

for bowling brilliantly!

Huh?

Hmm...

Aw... So much for that try.

I mean, so much for those pins! Or rather SNOW pins.

OK, that joke wasn't good. No more snow jokes.

Whoa! That's brilliant, Gobble. Great game, team. Let's play again.

Sure, right after we fix that.

Oh. Sorry, gang.

Sometimes I don't know my own...

Uh... Strength?

Come on, everyone. Let's pick up these pins and keep on bowling.

Keep...on...bowling...

Argh!

Oh, no. Poor Gobble was so tired, he fell asleep again.

-Then, he fell in the hole.

-Gobble! Can you hear us?

When he's in a really deep sleep,

even my loudest invention can't wake him up.

-Then we have to go down and get him.

-Go down and get him. Right!

Wait, we do? Couldn't we just drop a rope and pull him up?

We could, but it's a slide, Mim-Mim. Slides are fun. Come on.

Whee!

Whoa!

Gobble!

Yeah! That was the best slide ever.

-Whoa, what is this place?

-It's an ice cave, Mim-Mim.

A rather large one too by the looks of it. Where did Gobble go?

Right here. He really is in a deep sleep.

-Oh. Kate, how are we going to get out of here?

-Easy, Mim-Mim.

We'll just go back up the slide.

Most slides are down only, I find.

Hey...

-Isn't that the hill we climbed up to get to Snow Bowling Alley?

-It is!

Our exit awaits. Once we get past this ice.

Whoa, it's pretty thick. We'll have to break through it. But how?

Whoo! Big bunny coming though!

Oh... Why do I have to be so soft and cuddly?

We need something harder. I know!

We can bowl our way out.

Oh, if only Gobble weren't asleep. He's our strongest bowler.

Tack, you said you thought Gobble was so good,

he could bowl in his sleep.

Well, let's see if he can.

It's your turn again, Gobble.

OK, Kate...

Oh, no! Backward bowl!

He bowled the wrong way and he still hit the spot.

Wowie-wow, he is good.

If we all bowl together, that might be strong enough to break through.

OK, er... Be a good Gobble and aim forward this time, OK, pretty please?

Yes, Mimmy...

On three. One, two, three!

Yay!

Wow, brilliant, everyone. I knew we could do it.

All aboard the slide ride home.

Whee!

Sleep tight, Gobble.

We'll make sure you're not too tired the next time we go snow bowling.

Snow bowling? Great idea. I'm ready to bowl. Let's go.

At least now we know the magic words to wake him up.

The weather report says there's no more snow coming today,

-but there will be this weekend.

-That's OK, Dad.

I've got all the fun I need right here.

-Wow, I'll say.

-I even made my own snow, so we can go snow bowling too.

Mim-Mim can teach you how. It's fun.

-Yes!

-Strike-a-rooney!
