Bowling Part 2

I must admit, I am starting to wonder about my choice of activities.  I have now bowled twice in the pass two weeks.  If my memory serves me correctly, I believe it was during the winter prior to our Russia move.  Ironically, it was with Chevron, and a couple of the ladies I have recently bowled with.

Bowling has never been a major choice of entertainment, and has always been a very random, few and FAR between event.  I am contemplating my recent choice of activities, because I always correlated bowling with an "older" generation (no offense to ANYONE).  With my recent bowling trips, I am learning that it is not bad, and can actually be a really entertaining time.  My slight change of opinion may be caused by my slight improvement in skills.  I threw (rolled?) fewer and fewer gutter balls. :)

One thing I know for sure.  A group of American women in a Russian bowling alley really causes a scene.  We are all about dancing, cheering, screaming, and trying to "drive" the ball with our hip and hand motions.  The bowling alley is not a quiet, relaxing setting when we are present.  Judging by the facial expressions of other bowlers and employees, I am guessing they find us "entertaining."

Winner for "most improved."  Margie started rolling plenty of spares and strikes.  

Always adorable, Linda. 

Happy dance. 

Granny roll.  

STRIKE. :) (right, Stori?)

Linda earns "best bowler."  Turkey, 3 strikes in a row!!!  Maybe we are all just really excited to go home for Thanksgiving. :)

Now we just need to add our husbands to the mix and see what happens.  Definitely should make things interesting!  I think bowling is going to become a regular, especially when winter arrives.
