Mau ke bowling?

This weekend we took some family time and went bowling. That kind of thing always gives us a great chance to use a weird mixture of English and our new language. So we go in and say, "Ada bumpers?"

Where else can you say, "Maaf, kami perlu the sweeper thing untuk memindah pin itu."

One great thing about this bowling alley was that it was on the third floor. So after we climbed all the steps through the back, dark alleys of the building and came in through a closet or something we saw the elevator. Its sort of to the side of the front door so we walked right past it.

Another great thing was that we got to see that "serious" bowlers are the same everywhere. You know the kind of guys who have the hand brace, a rolling bag full of balls, and they are bowling ALONE. I have seen movies alone, taken long road trips alone, shopped alone, eaten alone in fancy restaurants (and dumps). But I've never BOWLED alone. Seriously, if you are bowling alone ... its time to admit you have a problem. And you can take that piece of advice from an 88 bowler right to the bank!!!

Notice from the photos that Bethany and Hudson had to bowl in socks since they didn't have shoes that small. We have some better action shots but you know all the great bowling pix involve looking at someone's backside. I spared you. You're welcome.
