Kingpin Bowling!

Just the other day, Chris and I were wandering around the mall when we happened upon a bowling alley...she saw the bowling balls and couldn't resist picking them up and asking "What are these?" She also wanted to see which fingers you were supposed to put in the holes. I found the fascinating since I grew up knowing what bowling was (even if we didn't go all that often). Apparently, the part of Canada where Chris is from has 5-pin bowling. This type of bowling has 5 pins (hence the name), a small ball (with no holes), and is quite easy (from what I hear). I decided Chris had to experience BOWLING and we got a group together for a fun night out.

Little did we know that Ryan would get a turkey plus two more strikes! But we all had a blast and enjoyed seeing the 'new' graphics after each person bowled (we've all seen the same little cartoons after a strike or spare from our bowling places back home...the ones in Australia were 'new' for all of us). The bowling was the same...well, at least for some of us...and the neon glow the lanes was an experience in itself. Craig (UK), Drew (US), Lizzie (don't you know me), Ryan (Canada), Lucy (UK), and Chris (Canada) had a stupendous time bowling the night away...well, it was just one game...but still it seemed like the whole entire night.
