Bowling!


We went bowling Monday night and it was the first time ever for the kids and for Juan Pablo! There is no bowling alley in La Paz...he said people in Bolivia wouldn't want to wear shoes that other people wear. The place was practically empty...we went before 6pm when the leagues come...Joaquin calls them the "laners".


Have you ever seen a ball take a full two minutes to go down the lane? We definitely needed the bumpers up for no gutter balls, but everyone did great for their first time. Joaquin got a strike on the second round! He was beating everyone for most of the game with all of his spares.



Wow! Those balls are heavy...even for the kids they are 9 lbs.!


I love this shot!
Everyone decided we should definitely go again...Juan Pablo's last thoughts were "bowling can be addictive!" Uh-oh!....I'm fine with the 10 rounds and that's it. But it was a lot of fun to see how excited the kids (and Juan Pablo) were at trying something completely new!
