Company party

Today we went to the annual bowling party put on by Mark's work. They rent the whole bowling alley, give small gifts to the kids, provide food and it is really a great perk of working for the railroad. Our friends, the Kemps and Rosarita were able to come with their children. Here are a few pictures. So many employers don't do events like this one does. And there are several fun things throughout the year. One of our favorite things is that all of the events are family oriented.

Special note: In every picture we took of Erin throwing the bowling ball she has the "rockstar" sign going on with her left hand. We did not realize that until we got home and uploaded the photos. We love you rocking the bowling alley Erin!

Old school bowling

Mark and I love to go bowling. Most of our friends love to bowl. That is why I am so sad to find out that the Ballard Sunset Bowl is closing in April to make way for a new apartment community. This place sells beer in bowling pin shaped bottles, roasted cashews...cheap, and much more. It is been around for years, and is one of the few bowling alleys left in Seattle. It will be a must do outing for "our gang" before it closes in April. On another, much happier bowling note, we went to a birthday outing today for a friends daughters 5th birthday party. The kids had a blast! Mark broke a chunk of the wall when he dropped a bowling ball, which was pretty funny. It was a great way to spend the day before the kids head back to school on Monday. Technically that would be today, now that I am blogging at all hours of the nite. I am up late because I got caught up in pulling out pictures that I want to scrapbook this friday when my girlfriends come over to scrapbook and burn CD's. They really just love me for my music collection ha ha.
P.S. Go Seahawks!
P.P.S. If you play Cranium Hoopla, make sure to read the directions so you don't have to break your arm patting yourself on the back at how quickly you have mastered the game.
