Saturday fun with the CanIL gang

On Saturday a group of friends from school went bowling. I'd never been bowling in Canada before but had heard rumors that it was different from bowling elsewhere. You bowl with a smaller ball with no little holes for your fingers, and you try to knock down five small pins, getting 5 points for the middle one, 3 for the ones next to it, and 2 for the outside pins (to sum it up in one sentence). It was a lot of fun. You can really hurl that little ball. I also found it much easier to control the spin (control is a relative term). Below are a few shots (from the top: me trying to knock down that last pin, the gang)


After a successful first try at Canadian bowling we went to Nathan's house to eat pizza and play Risk. I hadn't played risk since oh, about 5 years ago, and I guess now you play it with 4 missions (I liked the old way better). I came in third :-) lol. I won't comment on who won.
