I have to give a little background about the title of this update! I took the kids bowling yesterday which I will talk about in a minute, but whenever I'm at a bowling alley I can't help but think of this little phrase..."hop, skip, step....BOWL". When Jeff and I first got married and moved here to Rochester, we didn't know a lot of people. He had grown up here, but all his High School friends were either gone or still single. We were looking for some married/couple friends and also to just get to know new people, so we joined our church bowling league. Again, Jeff had grown up in the church, but we were newly back from college and newly married, so at a new place in life. Anyway...bowling....neither of us are any good, but it sounded like fun and a good way to get out and meet people. So, sign us up! We went faithfully and did enjoy our time, but there was a guy there who had the absolute FUNNIEST bowling ritual! He literally did a little "hop, skip, step dance" every time before he threw the ball! Jeff and I cracked up every time!
And we STILL, 16 years later, think of him every time we bowl! So....that's why I had to title this update as I did...in his HONOR!
So, every time the schools are on break here (which in my opinion is way too often!), we get a coupon in the mail from AMF Bowl. It's good for a free game of bowling for up to 10 people. My kids have taken this to mean that we MUST go bowling during every school break. I don't really mind, it's fun to hang out with them and they really enjoy it. However, the one free game is just a TRAP to get you in! The game itself only costs $2.75, but the shoes are $3.75 a pair for 12 and over and $2.75 for the little ones!
Needless to say it's far from FREE! But...we did have fun and I bowled a 144..GO ME!! My 15 year old nephew beat me by 2 pins....
Speaking of my nephew, I haven't introduced him yet, but he's pretty much my 4th son. He lives just around the corner and spends A LOT of time here. To give you an idea of how much, I usually plan my grocery purchases on having to feed 6 of us! His name is Josh and he is the other boy in the pictures I'm about to post!

BUT
Have I made that big of an impression??!!
I am doing my research and I want to make really good use of those snack credits. So far, here are the snacks I am sure I want to try. Please let me know if you have a favorite or if I have a glaring omission!
