No2Son with his best prezzie.
And then came dessert......
but it didn't last long.
Then we headed to the bowling alley. All the ten pin lanes were busy, so we bowled "small ball", which turned out to be miniature ten pin bowling on a regulation size lane with a five pin ball.... a lot harder then regular ten pin I think.
The Space Cadet shows his rather unorthodox bowling style. He said he was pathetic. We were kind and said he was merely erratic.
No1Son sizing up his next shot. He won the first two games, but only because he could hurl the ball harder than anyone else.
Ms S in action....... she says she's better at baseball.
No2Son (the Birthday Boy) bowls a STRIKE! He won the last game by 3 points.... in fact it was a battle to the death with his brother.
Spot was there too, to help with the scoring and making sure TSC didn't cheat. Ms S won this one!
It was so much fun, we should do it again for the next birthday. 
What a good looking group. The Space Cadet looks like he is getting ready to roll down the lane all curled up. Desserts looked yummy. There is nothing like having family close by. I miss mine every day.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! But ya almost lost me after the photo of the dessert. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun celebration. There's nothing like family to make the day seem special. Looks like great food and I never played small ball bowling before. Didn't know there was such a thing. It looks challenging.
ReplyDeletemmmm i fancy that dessert too mmmmm
ReplyDeletegreat action shots.
Happy birthday! That dessert looks delicious. Not surprising it didn't last long! Thanks for visiting Tel Aviv
ReplyDeleteAw, I just love reading about family stuff. I live vicariously...
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a family celebration for a birthday, makes it all the more special I think!! Happy Birthday No 2 son!
ReplyDeleteHow very fun! Though I've done a lot of bowling in my life, I've never bowled THAT variety. I can see how the smaller ball would make it harder. :)
ReplyDeleteI especially love the family photo at the end!!! One happy family. :)
Wow! Just love the desert! Will have to have a go on June 2nd, hubby's birthday! Could experiment with tomato sauce on his chips! LOL!

I'm not looking at the sweets in your latest post (on account of the forthcoming wedding), so I'll reply to this one instead!!! Nice to see you in the photo. It looks as if you all had a brilliant time. Loved the look of the dessert!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments - I like the blue, but it is so dark because the windows are covered up. If there was some daylight it would be much better!!

Fabulous family photo!! Looked like you guys had a grand evening.
ReplyDeleteI love garlic too but I hate the taste in my mouth 2 hours later. Eck!
