Candlepin Bowling

We decided to take Rachel candlepin bowling. This is a peculiar style of bowling that is popular here in New England and virtually nowhere else. For a good explanation of the game go to wikipedia. As you can see, Rachel took the early lead - let's call it beginners luck. Her technique was amazing. It literally took 20 or more seconds for her ball to reach the pins and reminded me of the bowling scene in the movie "Uncle Buck." Erin managed to sleep throughout the hour or so we spent at the bowling alley.

I became a little worried when, toward the end of the set (or round or whatever they call it) Rachel continued to lead Mindy and I. In fact she beat us fair and square! And yes, she rubbed it in.

Hopefully we will turn this into an actual website for our family. For now there are a few web albums for your viewing pleasure. I will try to update this as much as possible and will hopefully convince Mindy that this is worthwhile.
