Ohio, Part 3: Bowling and the Family

Today we went bowling. This was actually SJ's idea. The previous night she was asking what we'd do the next day and I asked her what she wanted to do. So we went bowling. One of the nice things about going bowling with a kid is that you can request the bumpers. This often comes in handy for the adults too as it did today for all the adults! SJ actually bowled a 71, including one spare. Not too bad for the girl who did a "granny-style" push of the ball most of the time.






After bowling we headed to my Aunt and Uncle's house for pizza, salad and a pre-birthday party for me. We also got to watch some of the OSU vs USC game, which did not go so well. SJ enjoyed meeting most of her extended family, including the dogs. Aunt Linda fixed SJ up with a stuffed dog she named Remy, after one of the real dogs. SJ walked the stuffed Remy around the house, inside and out and even talked Aunt Susie into "walking" another dog using a tape measure as a leash.
