More "Let's go bowling"

Drew decided he wanted to take Grandpa Butch bowling while he was visiting. Drew dearly loves to bowl, as does grandpa, so it was a fun evening for them. Kayley and I played in the arcade room. All the flashing lights made her think she was driving the cars and shooting the guns without spending a dime. That little trick will end soon enough!

Saturday was another very cool day here. I went with my hiking friends on a 6 mile trek and never took off my gloves which is most unusual after hiking that long. Usually I work up some heat units but the brisk breeze kept us all cool. I was also very cold last night when we went to Cave Creek. Megan had registered for the 5K night run there so Drew and I rode with to cheer for her. This was her first race and she did very well considering the route had major hills for the runners! She doesn't run on any hills so that was a different challenge for her. As she was off running and breaking a sweat, Drew and I froze our buns off. We did NOT dress appropriately for the temps. I could have used my Iowa ear muffs and winter coat. Glad this little front will be out of the valley in a few days. I don't like it! :-)

Mark should be in Phoenix this Thursday. Yay! We cannot wait to have him with us.

Below are some pics from the Thanksgiving week-end, my hike, the 5K race and a short video of the bowling night.

We ha a group of 15 go bowling on Friay, Happy hour bowling.....cheap.You can set it up with ages, so if a child like Drew is up to bowl, the bumpers go up. when I bowl, the bumpers go down....way too cool for a family.....I started out with a 117 and ended with a 191. Dog Dave said, Wow, you had a 139 and have two boxes to go! I kept telling them I am a league and tournament bowler.....most of the group bowl once a year.....hahahaha.......locran
