Local flare

A family that bowls together stays together! With all the rain we've been getting we decided to head to the local bowling alley. My guess is the local bowling alley is probably the worst bowling alley in state if not in the west or even the nation. My guess is the bowling alley in Antarctica is better than Noyo Bowl in Fort Bragg, CA. Anyway, our Monday evening bowling only lasted one game. It was a sad showing by all of us. One pitcher of beer and one fall.

Backs sides are about the only photo ops at bowling alleys.

1st place: Dad - 120 pts - and he's the one who fell!

2nd place: Mom - 115 pts

3rd place: Mike- 112 pts

4th place: Me - 53 pts (that's not a typo)

We decided to make ourselves feel better after our bowling debacle and actually get out and do something specific to the coast. We decided to go sea kayaking Tuesday afternoon. The clouds broke and the sun came out just long enough for us to have a lovely paddle on the Pacific. No joke, as soon as we got back on the beach the fog rolled in. I only have a few pics now - will post more once we have the waterproof camera developed.

The sea was a little rough so mom chickened out, she stayed on the beach and took some video and pictures.

DH and I are the double, Dad is to the right. Can you see why mom chickened out?

Kayaking was a great way to end our stay on the coast. Tomorrow we're heading inland a bit to visit friends in the North Bay and East Bay. Will be heading back to Montana on Saturday the 3rd.

Happy New Year.
