Upscale Bowling at Chippers

Chippers is the local dive-bowling alley that is a few miles from our house.  Tara and the kids go fairly often but usually it's at odd hours to take advantage of the coupons the periodically send out.  The coupons have crazy stipulations though, like buy one get one free on the 3rd Tuesday of the month but also only when the Broncos don't win and you then also have to pay for shoe rentals or something like that.

However, we did finally find a time that worked for all of us to go and here are some action shots of what transpired.  Tara is giving it a tentative go and working real hard to not to lose to Gavin.

Gavin has a strange technique that somehow works but typically ends in either lofting the ball several feet down the lane or slamming it down too early before the actual lane.  He must have a lot of practice doing this because his score isn't too bad by the end.

Gage also was happy to be apart of the action and has a nice upstroke behind him.  He did have a rough game this go around though and seemed to find the gutters quite a bit.

One last picture of Gavin celebrating a nine-pin knockdown.  We definitely had a fun game together and then tolerated a few video games in there sketchy video game parlour.  The kids mostly do this shark-catching game that you win tickets at for spearing a shark as it swims by.  After 30 minutes of shark hunting, they finally had enough tickets for a few pieces of candy and some other plastic, cheap stuff from the prize counter.
