Day 7.281: Candlepin

After I left for Indiana on Monday, the rest of the family went bowling and they were keen to share the experience with me today.

The local bowling alley offers candlepin rather than ten-pin bowling. A variant only found primarily New England and eastern Canada. We played on the glow-in-the-dark lanes and had a great time. It's rather harder to rack-up a big score thanks to the small light balls but after Exile #3 schooled us all with both her form and her score in the first game, I managed a respectable 95 in the second.


Afterwards, we played a little skee-ball. The kids traded their hard-won tickets for some cheap candy, but Exile #2 and I spent some of ours on a finger trap - which we all enjoyed getting caught in during the rest of the afternoon.
