bowling…a spectator sport?
If you have ever gone bowling with young kids, you will see that a 10 frame bowling game can last a whole morning. I totally forgot I took this picture of the kids on one of our outings the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. This picture just makes me laugh. The kids were so into the game and since they can’t throw the 6lb ball very fast, they are all studiously anxious as it quietly strolls down the lane to see if they struck any pins. Our little girl does a fantastic granny roll between her legs and did in fact manage to hit the most pins. It just took a lifetime to watch is all. The best part of this outing? The little boy, affectionately called Peter Butter, hit a spare and as everyone was clapping and shouting his name tried to get down on the floor and break dance. Yeah, break dance. After a 2 sec beat of silence on my BFF’s and my part, we busted up laughing. We were so surprised we didn’t catch that on photo or video. We think he was watching the dress rehearsal for the girls’ dance class and saw the boys do this…I have no idea. Hilarious though. Freaking hilarious.

Hi Buena,
As I was trying to clean up my inbox at work, I noticed an old email (3/10/09 - which tells you how much cleaning I have to do) from you listing your blog site. You are prolific with your blog and I will have to try to visit it a bit more often in the future.
This photo of the kids bowling makes me want to ask a question. Does the bowling alley have lanes with “bumper rails” which pretty much eliminates gutter balls? I know my kids all tried bowling at Bella’s age and the bumper rails made the game more enjoyable and satisfying for them when they lack control on how and where to roll the ball. It is also entertaining for the adults spectating as they will see some crazy caroms off of the bumpers. We would try to predict how many times the ball would hit a bumper prior to hitting the pins.
Looks like all is going well for you and the family. Life is interesting here in AZ and we will have to have a chat one day to catch up on things. By the way, the revised Unit for PCR has been published. I need to get a copy to send you.
Please give my warmest regards to Luis and Bella.
Cheers,
Carl

Upon closer inspection of the picture, I do see that you had the rails. I need new glasses but I think old age is just getting the best of me.
