when the family goes bowling

After sustaining a bowling injury...seriously, have you ever heard of anyone getting hurt bowling? I pulled something in my elbow back in November the last time we ventured out to tame the lanes. On Saturday with the elbow finally not hurting and full range of motion returned I was feeling up to the challenge. The last outing I was beat by every member of the family...yes even Nate who is 2. It was a sad day for a guy who thinks he is pretty good at most everything he does. It was one of those days where you have to spray on a smile and make an attempt to join in while everyone else laughs at/with you.

So with revenge in mind, I set out to top the family as part of our celebration of Laurie's b-day. Yes, I was victorious...by two points over Laurie. I won't mention the score because lets just say, it wasn't something to be proud of. However, with Gabe opening the first three frames spare/strike/spare, bet your shorts I was sweating it early on.

Gotta love though the opportunities that we have to spend quality time with the family. Wouldn't pass up these types of chances for the world.

Nice form Jake!

Matt totally goes just for fun with the family, his reason, you can't compete with kids and bumpers.

We have not as yet braved the lanes with the kiddos. In fact I don't think we've braved the lanes without them since about... Provo. I think it's about time!

Good to hear your elbow's feeling better. I'd love to see you and Laurie bowl and compete against each other!
