Day 3: Bowling, bumper cars, jacking the tabasco & more |
Sean got Swimmer’s Ear, so we had to go get him some medicine from Walgreens. We took the kids bowling today. At first I wasn’t going to bowl, but after seeing a few gutterballs I decided to try and help out. Unfortunately, on my first attempt my shoe got stuck in the approach and I went flying head first into the lane (foul). Kids got a nice laugh out of this.
Next we went to Circus Circus where they had lots of games for the kids to play. Sean flipped a quarter inside this red circle and won a stuffed animal. Sean won three little bears by throwing a dart through a balloon. Joel had a little trouble with the tic-tac-toe game getting the ball to make it to the counter.
We took the kids to go do bumper cars and they had fun ramming into each other’s bumper car. In the concierge area we saw that what I called the Bonanza ranch in day 1 really was called the Ponderosa ranch and we made plans to go see it tomorrow in day 4 along with other sights in Tahoe.
Neal kept asking me when we were buying dinner to take to our room “why are you jacking the Tabasco?” He didn’t seem to get the fact that all those tabasco bottles were ok to take up to your room.




Dig those shoes!!! Now how come ONLY bowling alleys have ‘em??? Man, I wish they had steel toes… the way I bowl… and drop bricks… Dam, I bet they’d be everywhere - if they weren’t obviously bowling alley shoes… Too bad, I guess it would sort of be like wearing a pin striped prison outfit to the Policeman’s Ball! How’d they get the exclusive on ‘dem flourescent red/green things anyway? Dam, they’re better than a flashlight in a dark alley… Anti-Theft device? Ya gotta be kidding… Well, I guess that’s one low tech method that works! But - Who would steal shoes from a bowling alley??? You can’t run in them, and they don’t have steel toes. Dam bricks…
