138

$3.00 a game x 24 games

$2.00 x 6 pairs of shoes

138 = my HIGH score

PRICELESS

Saturday night my "favorite" sister-in-law, my "favorite" brother-in-law and "favorite" nephew came up to go bowling with us. It was a great time and had several bets going on throughout the evening, the guys were quite the (I can't come up with the correct word) with their commentating.

It seems every time I go bowling these are the shoes I get - it must be the only color make in my size.

You can see the seriousness here.

Keyton after his first (and only -I think) strike. :0)

Mr. Average 220 - I'm so cool.

In the next few pictures you can see how serious we are about our form.

The first bet of the night was Russ told Kassade and Keyton if they bowled a score higher then his he would pay them $5.00. It was a no go - they just couldn't keep up with him. At the beginning of the last game their cousin, Cody told them that if they bowled a combined score higher than his, he would pay them each $10.00. The picture above was the response he got. They were motivated - they were planning and strateging how they were going to be beat Cody. I hadn't seen them work this well together for a long time.

They tried hard, Cody was sweating in about the 8th round, but in the end "professional" Cody was just too good. He scored a 223 and they scored a 202. Maybe next time.

We left London at home - we learned after last time - Bowling and London do not go together. Thanks Lauren for taking care of London for us!

On a serious note, this was our first outing without Konley. We had a great time but I have to admit that I missed him not being with us. He loved to bowl. I missed his giggles and silly comments and the way he bowled. We have great memories with him and bowling.
