Photos from the trip

Liza started off her second-ever bowling trip using the ever-reliable "granny" technique ...

Which was very successful for her ...

But by the last frame, she was feeling bold enough to bowl like the big kids a few lanes over.

Liza had a blast, expending way more energy celebrating each ball than she did actually throwing it. At least this time she didn't strand any halfway down the lane, and none of them came flying back at us (like they did a couple lanes over).

And here she is in full-on "throw leaves in the faces of your cousins as hard as you can and apologize when you put out one of their eyes with a stick" mode on Thanksgiving day.

Also? Today is the 30th of November, which means that I've completed NaBloPoMo two years running. Go, me!
