Bowling!

Bowling has changed a bit in the ensuing years since I last went. I, um, don't even remember the last time I went bowling...it may have been with an old pal Dylan back in Sac between '99 and heading back to San Luis in '00. Anyway, it got expensive!

Corrie found a Group-On and we made a Saturday afternoon of it.

One of the cooler changes was about the bumper lanes. Maybe this is old hat to all the bowling enthusiasts out there, but you can program the bumper lanes to show up for any individual bowler automatically, and then they'll pop down as needed to return the game to the normal gutter-ball-is-allowed play.

Cass did pretty well for his first time. We played two games as a family, then Camille and Corrie went off to the arcade to play (as per a Corrie promise). Cass was locked in and played most of the game we played together without bumpers (which lead to some gutter-balls):

Corrie and I both had a few strikes and a few more spares, and my second game was the best score of the day, at 145 or so. Camille was awesome, cradling the ball like a spherical baby, running towards the line, and launching it with both arms.

We had so much fun! I could see us making a routine of it somehow...is there a club instead of the drastic and severe pricing? Family fun time!
