Last weekend was my son’s lacrosse team’s annual Family Bowling Night. It was nice to spend the evening with my son, but I sure do suck at bowling! In three games, I got a few spares and two strikes, but I was just as likely to throw a gutter ball or somehow manage to knock down only one pin in the back corner!
My son was more consistent. Here is one of his strikes:
My husband did slightly better than I did. Here he cleaned up for a spare:
After we took my son back to his dorm, we headed to my favorite local restaurant for some Belgian beer and frites.
(Did I mention that I ran 10.5 miles that day?)
Do you enjoy bowling?
We used to go bowling a lot when I was younger. My son who just turned 6 went a few times with his class and loved it so much he wanted his birthday party there. It's hilarious watching a group of 6 year old (and my 3.5 year old son) bowl. Thank goodness for bumpers in the gutters!!
No much of a bowler, we used to go a lot when I was a kid and I think that did me in. Bowling alleys were always full of smoke and that stigma remains!
There are some older bowling alleys that still smell like smoke, but the new ones can be quite nice.
I'm a horrible bowler! I remember we used to go during physed class back in high school… omg did i embarrass myself lol
