Labor Day Laughs!

Could anything possibly be more fun than throwing a heavy ball around while wearing shoes that hundreds of other people have worn? We think not! Allie and Paige seem to think that they will have an advantage by wearing these colorful, knee-hi socks. Have they no shame? Apparently not!

We decided to celebrate Labor Day by ceasing all labor and going bowling. We had a gift certificate for FREE bowling, FREE shoes, FREE pizza, FREE soda and the use of a lane for 2 hours. You may want to know what we did to deserve such an amazing gift certificate as that. Well, it was easy. All WE had to do was support ME as the Skyline Booster's Concession Stand Manager during the 2008/2009 school year by being at lots of sporting events and selling nachos, popcorn, Gatorade and candy. Simple, huh? Well, maybe not, but the Booster Club gave us this great gift certificate at the end of the school year in May and we still hadn't used it.

Here is a bad picture of a great husband who is still undeniably the reigning, family bowling champ. He was burning up the lanes on Labor Day.

Sarah is so excited to have a day off from school, as you can see in this picture.

Kaylee thinks bowling is really fun too. We didn't even use bumper pads this time and she still did a really good job.

Paige is excited because she ALMOST got a strike. There is only 1 pin remaining. Maybe the crazy socks are working.

Here's Allie striking a pose. I'm sure the professional bowling tournament organizers will be contacting her soon to model for all of their 2009/2010 publicity photos.

Matt had lots of fun too. When regular bowling got a little boring we came up with different ways the family had to bowl each frame such as left handed, no bending of the legs and the granny roll.

It just doesn't get better than this.

We even found these fliers about this new league that would be perfect for us. Unfortunately, they only meet on Sunday afternoons. Dang it!

Labor Day bowling was a huge success. Unfortunately, it wasn't amazing enough for us to agree to sell concessions during this school year. If it has been awhile since you have been bowling, we highly recommend it. Give us a call and we will even let you borrow some of our funky socks.
