Labor Day weekend we went to New York to visit Ned's parents and sister, brother in law and a few friends. We were supposed to go the previous weekend, but hurricane Irene ruined that.
Saratoga is always fun. The summer horse races were still going on and the kids loved them. They loved watching the horses, running around like horses and of course eating all the yummy treats there were to offer. And, it was a gorgeous day with lots of people-watching to be had!
Monday it was rainy so we went bowling. Katie had been once years ago and Andrew had never been. We had a lot of laughs. Mostly at our scores and techniques!
Scores:
Andrew 88
Katie 76
Ellen 83
Ned 119
Grumps 117
Grammy 55
Yes, it does appear that Andrew beat me, but I would like to add that he and Katie had bumpers. Even still - it was embarrassing to be beaten by a 3.5 year old! And, Chis technically came in last, but she did have an elbow injury a few months ago. She had a handicap.
The walk...
The roll...
Watching the ball go. Totally professional bowling etiquette I believe.
Grumps and Andrew. Grammy and Katie.
For some uncanny reason, Andrew could get most of the pins down with his technique. It was ridiculously amazing. Watch here. He gets a spare.
Katie didnt have quite a lot of umpf but had strategy.
