BOWLING!

Bowling is the lamest activity on the planet, but since my wife and son both absolutely LOVE it, I will make a good faith effort to be a good sport, be all white trash, have bad hygiene, have bad family values, swear a lot, eat a lot of manufactured carbs, and carry myself as a good bowler should.

We all had a blast at Rylan's second birthday party--Rylan is Jesse and Ciara's little guy and he turned two. It was Callum's first bowling party. How much did he love it? He wouldnt stop for ANYTHING--bribes of pizza, soda, and cake all fell on deaf ears if it meant he had to abandon his lane. He LOVED it (good...now he can hang out with wikijaydia and hardworkin tim). His favorite part, naturally, were the shoes he got to wear. And he selected a green ball that he used (and ONLY used the green ball...even if he had to wait five minutes for it to return, even)

Jesse set up this chair and a half pipe of corrugated #jandjcorrugated so the kids could get the hang of what they were supposed to do. This only took about ten minutes, and then the pipe was removed, they. Look at the shoez.

Bowling is, actually, a good activity for teaching kids how to wait their turn and be patient. Maybe more adults should bowl. No, they shouldnt.

Even Maira got into the mix. She enjoyed picking up the balls and walking around with them. She's a strong Irish lass--I was surprised she could carry one of the candlepin balls with her and walk around the lanes. Naturally, she only wanted to go into the lane that wasnt ours....
