The Milburns at play

We went bowling tonight. Some of us are not THAT good of bowlers, but we went anyway.


Dylan started us off. Notice that we did not get a lane with the bumpers, yet. So we played a game anyway.

He was feeling pretty good about this, until.........

Life is hard without bumpers.

Now it is D'Kota's turn. No he is not ducking so he won't hit his dead, he's lining the ball up.

But if you will look to the right of this picture, you will see that even with that wonderful line up, the gutter still gets cleaned.

Now for the pro of our little group. Eric always gets a higher score than his shoes size or age.

Of course by now, we have the bumpers, but Eric doesn't need them any how.

Dylan can really wing that ball down the lane huh?

He got into this one a little TOO much. But he did get most of the pins down!

Now when I was in High School, we took a class during PE all about bowling. We went to the bowling alley and had someone show us how to do it correctly. Notice the form and the line up of the ball. I got an "A" in that class.

Too bad sometimes knowledge does nothing for ability. I can REALLY use those bumpers to my advantage. This is not funny Dylan!!

Eric learned that if D'Kota goes first and then him and then me and Dylan last, our names spell DEAD. Ain't he funny?
This is what a cool teenager that is hanging out with his parents looks like.

It turns out that even D'Kota is better with the bumpers and he is not too proud to be proud of it.

Now I must explain this photo. All the years of me being behind the camera and taking photos when people did not know I was taking pictures of them, has come to bite me back. I have a couple thousand or two photos of football and wrestling refs butts and about double that number of Eric's butt. Which has embarrassed D'Kota to no end. Many of the football players and wrestlers over the years have even noticed that I enjoy taking photos of Eric's butt (not the refs, they just get in the way). So as I was downloading these photos tonight, I noticed this one and knew it was Eric's way of getting revenge on the threat of me making a wall sized poster of pictures of his butt. Too-shay my dear, too-shay.

This photo is in here so that I can point out what happens when your fry your hair from dead to plum dead. Try not to notice the big butt, but the cute curls in the hair that last FOREVER!

Is he bowling or skipping?

SO EXCITED ABOUT BOWLING!!!!

Here we have the Pro again. Notice the beautiful form (and yes, the line up of his body and the ball, snicker snicker, you guys thought I was talking about the line up the first time didn't you? I was talking about his body! LOL)

It was a strike by the way.

I found the little hair dryer in the middle of the ball return. I love that thing. I only wish it was as strong as those new hand dryers they have in the bathrooms that make your skin move. OK, maybe just my old skin, but they are fun anyway.

Bowling is fun!!! Specially when you go with us!
