Bowling with Mum

A few of you have played games with my mother. And for those of you who haven't, well - she is very competitive and more than that, she is good at most outdoor games. Mir and Sam and a few others have played the Swedish game Kubb with her a few times over the years and I always want to be on Mum's team!

My bro, Amanda, J and I took her bowling for the 1st time and she loved it and "kickedbutt" (I like the Swedish way of joining words together; hope it catches on in English!) The first time she bowled, she hit a spare (all pins down in 2 shots) and second she hit a strike. Amazing. She was so sore the next day and we heard groaning --- "ooohh, aahh, my leg"! Mum and Jonas had planned a race before she left, running up the steps at Minnehaha Park. The race didn't happen. J (graciously) forfeited so Mum is the declared winner ;-) Enjoy the pics.


The pro awaits her score!








Jonas' signature outfit. Apparently it brings good luck.

Happy birthday Jonas! I love how you have one sock hiked way up and the other is way down. It is so... so... Pippi Longstocking!

Jonas looks so awesome in that top picture. He looks like such a typical bowler. Slouching and drinking something. Good times.
