Bowling Champs!

The main word to sum up our week with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Cathie would definitely be 'bowling'. They arrived early Sunday morning and left early Saturday morning, and in that time I think they played 62 games total. Each night the kids wanted to play a few frames with their indoor bowling set. And each afternoon they wanted to play a few frames. Come morning? A few frames, of course. One day we even went to the 'real' bowling ally to play a game....Big Earn: look out!

On two occasions at home, the games were very organized, planned out, and every family member participated. These matches became known as the Grandma & Grandpa Classic. It was fitting, then, that Grandpa Jim won the first one and Grandma Cathie won the second. Eli insisted they get trophies, much like the ones we make for our own family games. Eli and Daddy made paper bowling pins with their names and the date for them to hang on their door. Even though the kids didn't win, they had a blast. I think Maddux enjoyed saying, "Good job, Gwrampa!!" more than actually playing.
