Bowling for Vegas

We got home last night from Easter in Las Vegas.  We are spoiled and both Ben and I have sisters living close to one another.  Friday we and the Francis' hit it hard: Horton Hears a Who directly followed by a mean game of bowling at Red Rock, followed by a night of more sushi than I have ever seen on one table.

The girls loved the bowling alley. Téa had a moment of pause when I handed her the shoes.  She put her hands up and said, "No Way." Immediately followed by, "Does everyone else's shoes look like that?  You promise??" (Remember, this is coming from a girl who tried to talk me into letting her wear a skirt and knee-high boots to Sports Camp today.)  I swear the lanes are on a slight slope because there were times that Avery merely set the bowling ball down, yet it mysteriously made it to the end.  It may have been the Indian Rain looking dance she did every time until the ball made it to the end.  

Ben KILLED me at bowling.  Before you take that as a given, let me just tell you I was holding my own - to my own surprise.  He started-out a little cocky - as you can see him bowling while on his cell phone- but when he saw what a true threat I was it was "game-on" and he threw so many strikes in a row that I actually had no idea how the computer would calculate that kind of feat.  

So, now I not only believe he sneaks out to visit our local skating rink, but I fear he has been frequenting the bowling alleys as well. Great.





Thank you Francis' for a great weekend!

Wow Briar it looks like fun! We are going to Vegas in a couple weeks and we'll have to hit the bowling alley. We missed you at church too! OH but it looked like more fun where you were. Glad you had a great Easter!

What can I say - we know how to have a good time. You know we've pulled out all the stops when we take you bowling in a casino. Next time we'll take you to a really great place, that nobody's ever heard of.

Briar- It looks like you should have been in my bowling class at Ricks. Glad you had a great Easter.

I had no idea of the love for bowling, but now that I do...you are cordially invited to Holiday Lanes in good ol' hick town.
That will be our next outing together with our boys.
