Bowled over


Today's field trip was to our neighboorhood bowling alley...also the site of our friendly neighborhood post office. How cool is that? The ladies who run the place love Matt and sometimes let him put mail in the post office boxes. (Any postal inspectors reading, avert your eyes. Worry about those carriers who hoard mail.)

The kids got Velcro shoes and most were very excited about the game. Matt yelled "I won!" every time he knocked any pins over. A bowling addict, I rolled a few frames when the kids wandered off in search of snacks and video games and whatnot. After the game, we sat at the snack counter and Matt had some milk and a hot dog and we watched "Scooby-Doo" and "Tom & Jerry" (much uproarious laughter by Matt at that one). Nothing like killing a morning at the bowling alley.
About noon, as we were leaving, we saw a couple of guys drinking pints and bowling. I guess it's 5 o'clock somewhere, as they say in Margaritaville.
