Left Handed Bowling

The joke around the house lately has to do with one hand. "James, remember to wash your 'hand,'" "James, let me help you, you only have one 'hand,'" and so on.

While James is left handed (making a broken right arm kinda convenient), he plays all sports with his right hand (batting, golfing, shooting a hockey puck, and yes, bowling). So, what's more fun that to take a kid bowling when he has to do it with the other hand? Not much!

Our friends Bronwyn and Ethan are in town from Texas and went bowling with us.
For the first game the kids didn't use the bumpers, and James actually didn't do too bad.
For the second game the boys used bumpers and got a little silly (ricochet bowling anyone?). In the end we learned that Bronwyn is much better than she let on to be (she is the spare QUEEN!), and that it's a good idea I didn't try to take up bowling as a profession.
