the bowling game! the bowling game!




the bowling game was a total sucess this year, despite grandpa's not-so-pleasant mood. he was heard mumbling, "maybe this will be the last bowling game...". no! it was only nash's first! nash and mommy rolled the ball for their prizes together-a gift card to banana and a peter cottontail book. stevie bevie made out like a bandit-he got a socket wrench set, beef jerky, trail mix, socks, an article about how to get his tattoo removed, and a poster of mary-kate and ashley. we are unsure of the reasoning behind that one! maybe this really will be the last bowling game....brad got so creative this year i don't think he can ever top it!

That looks like a great bowling game. Cute pics! It is the best tradition - Brad can't just end it! I was asking Brian when he thought we would have to start getting our own bowling game prizes? Sounds like sooner than I thought.

What is the bowling game?! Do you guys do this every conference weekend?

oh, yes, billijean. every conference weekend. we gather round and sing the song then all bowl for our predetermined prizes. boys usually get tools and stuff and (ever since i joined the family) the girls have been getting banana republic gift cards.

Unless you live out of state, this year we both got Costco gift cards. And Emers got this doll and book (it's cute but for a 3-7 year old).

The bowling game is pretty sweet, I kind of wish we did it. I think someone I know may need that tatoo removal gift, so pass it on when you are done with it.

tigerfoxbearrabbitmonkey-
unfortunately, brad didn't actually purchase the tattoo removal tool, he merely cut out the advertisement for it. i will be sure to pass on the information, although steve is not considering tattoo removal so we won't be able to speak for how well the tool works.

We're planning on driving to Utah for bowling games in the future. Brad has been saying this is the last bowling game since '99.
