Bowling? Yep. We're making every effort to do things this summer that are fun, not real pricey, fairly easy to do and close by.
This was actually Isaac's idea...bowling....as it's so hard for me to stay indoors when the weather is fab fabness outside. But we went anyway.
Isaac (Chris' 13 yr old) grabbed a friend and off we went one day last week to give-a-go at bowling. Me, Chris, Isaac and Juan.
After we gathered up all the necessary bowling accouterments (ie, bowling shoes and bowling ball) and after receiving a tutorial on how to set the scoring machine (very uncomplicated in a complicated way), the emotions of trying to roll a heavy ball down a slick, waxed, wooden alley with aluminum gutters on both sides (which I think have magnets in them that suck in bowling balls) while attempting to knock down ten pins...is no where NEAR as easy as it looks.
It took us all some finagling...a little bit of trial-and-error...some luck...and some good ole crap shoot...before we got the hang of it.
Technique is everything in bowling. And no doubt...100% mental.
Needless to say, we all had a lot of fun. And will likely try it again sometime soon.
Group activities...definitely something to write home about.
