Bowling Girls

Our neighbors have a daughter a couple of years older than our daughter and the two of them enjoy each others company. Today I walked into the living room to see them "bowling" with Lisa's workout ball (similar to a medicine ball, it weighs 5 pounds). The game took an immediate wrong turn when the ball went airborne. I put an end to it, but in so doing learned that neither of the girls had ever been to a bowling alley. I decided it was time to take them.

I was shocked how much more expensive it was than I remembered bowling cost - I've not been bowling in many, many years. The lanes were guarded against dreaded gutterballs, which I quickly learned could not prevent us from scoring zero in a frame. The girls did well, because the lightest balls were merely six pounds, but they did a bit better when I found a ramp for them to use to roll the ball.

We ate pizza and raviolis afterward and on the drive home the girls sang together. It was a very nice night out.
