Bowling

What's up with bowling shoes? I mean I get that they have to have a super soft sole so they don't scratch up the floor, but why do they have to be so ugly? I almost want a pair to wear as regular shoes just for the conversation starter I'd have.

A while back Illinois passed a law that you can't smoke in a public building. The fumes were what kept us out of the bowling alley in the first place, so since the air had cleared we finally decided we would take the kids for a fun afternoon. Fifty bucks later we had rented 5 pairs of shoes, 2 lanes and only played 2 games. Good Gravy! You know, considering it's just rolling a heavy ball and knocking things over, bowling is RIDICULOUSLY expensive. We won't be bowling again anytime soon, but we did get some cute pictures.


Look at that form. He'll either be a great bowler or a champion figure skater.


Avery got pretty good at the Granny bowling.


This is how Ellie had to bowl because the ball was just too big and heavy for her to handle on her own. She obviously gets her cute butt from her dad ;0)


And speaking of Brent...he's very athletic and quite good at the sports he plays. Sadly, bowling is not his forte. Our first year of marriage I learned I was way better at Monopoly than he was and now I can add bowling to the list as well. Which is saying something, because I'm really bad at bowling. Hee, hee, hee! He was a gracious loser and it was nice of him to let me gloat.
