Sunday Family Bowling

We haven't seen as much as we would like of Gary, with him starting his new job in Sacramento. So when the weekends come around - and when he's home with us - we've been trying to have some Family Fun time (in addition to working on the "get the house ready for sale" list).

So this weekend - we all went Bowling!



I don't think Gary or I have been bowling since before we were married - that's over 20 years ago folks!



Little K has been to a few bowling parties in the past few years, but never without the bumpers up.

I wasn't about to bowl with bumpers. That would mean, if I did good (AKA - beat Gary), I couldn't really take the credit. I'm way too competitive to give up on a chance to gloat - err I mean win gracefully.



In my day - I was actually a pretty good Bowler. I even bowled on an after work League. At least I think we did some bowling along with all that beer drinking.



I remember my average was around 130. Guess what I bowled my first game? 127! I kicked some Bowling Butt.

Let's just not discuss my score for the next two games.



Gary and Little K improved their scores quite a bit by the end of the 3rd game. I can't say the same. I broke a nail, have a blister on my thumb, and this morning my leg muscles are so sore I almost tripped down the stairs.

How sad is that....even bowling makes my muscles ache. Time to get going to the Gym again.



But it was a great opportunity to wear some really cool footwear.



I must say, we all had some pretty good bowling form. Little K did a great job without the bumpers (she was the only kid not using them). If you didn't actually look at the score board, we could have looked like a family force to be reckoned with. I'm surprised no one asked us to join their league? Maybe next time.



Little K did take some shots of me bowling (just to prove that I have good form as well), but they are on her camera and I (conveniently) forget how to upload from hers.

We had a great time together - just having silly fun. Need to do more of that for sure!
