Saturday Night was "Family Bowling Night"... not that this is going to be an ongoing thing, but it was just what we called it. My Neice and Nephew have been taking bowling classes and so we decided to all get together and so they could show off their "skills"... at their age this still consists of having the bumpers up... but it was good time for all none the less. Most of us met up and went to dinner before hand... when the family gets together it is never a small group. After dinner we headed over to the bowling alley where the whole gang was together... my parents, all six of us kids, most of our significant others, and six grandkids and one great grandkid.
My parents were on cloud nine. We haven't been able to get all of us to a function at the same time in over a year or more. I took on the role of cheerleader... I think everyone in the bowling alley knew anytime anyone on our "team" got a strike or did well. High fives where going like crazy, and all and all we just enjoyed being together.
"Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family."
