otten bowling

our tradition every 'spring~break' is to go bowling with the whole otten gang.
it's getting harder now that many of the older kids work, and finding a time that suits everyone....there are 43 people to include!!
since we couldn't make it in the spring~break, we booked it for a month later...found a saturday afternoon in the end of april.

we made it work....well, a few were MIA.
we had a blast...we basically took up 10 lanes at this tiny little bowling ally
~oh ya, they only had ten lanes in this place!!


as you can see...i'm not doing so great
nick, on the other hand just got a strike;)!

capturing all the 'kodak' moments....chris


you bowl better than you mini putt chris....yes, you 'smoked' us all!!


while the little kids were finishing up their game, these guys decided to skip while waiting!
the big kids were having a grand ol' time with this game!!




then....back to oma & opa's for pizza & kfc

good luck finding your shoes @ the end of the night!!

even though it gets harder and harder every year to plan this day, it's still a huge 'high~light' in this family, so we try to make it work as best as possible.
thanks oma & opa for bowling and supper ;)!!
