Hillbilly Bowl

More pictures from our after Christmas Extravaganza. There is a Bowling Alley very close to where we stay. Probably 10 years ago my immediate family started bowling there. Since we go there every two years, it has been a tradition for as many people as possible to participate. We can easily take up 8 out of the 12 lanes.

This year I was in charge of securing our reservation. I kid you not, I spoke to the original hillbilly. When trying to make a reservation, he told me to give a holler when we were ready to bowl. Said of course with a heavy Missouri accent, if you will.

This was a special year for me because it was the first time Olivia and Ava had gone bowling. They had an absolute blast!

Special props to my uncle Joe who took some of these pics. He is an awesome photographer!

I think Ava really liked the shoes.

I am so proud of Olivia actually holding the ball.
