Lauren had a birthday party to attend this past Saturday, so we took the little ones bowling for the first time. We have a Wii at home (as most people do) that came with a bowling game. The kids love to bowl so much on the game system I thought it would be a good idea to try it out in real life. After the first frame of the first game it was evident that the Wii is rigged to be easy. Real life bowling takes much more skill and there are no “do overs”. My first two throws went toward the gutter, I stink. Notice I didn’t say in the gutter, thank God for bumper bowling. It has been nearly 10 years since I bowled and there have been some great improvements to the game. I never knew there was a guide to help you bowl straight. Cheating can be fun and help improve your overall score. Win, win. My parents stopped by and we convinced my dad to bowl a game. He actually scored a 109. Not bad since it has been over 30 years since his last game. Ginny bowled great! She actually bowled more strikes than anyone. I attribute her throwing prowess to all the practice she has had throwing heavy objects at me with great accuracy. I wasn’t born with this lumpy head.
