Had a great few days over in Chelan to bring in the New Year.
Marissa ready to bowl….

Reese used the bumper rails to stay on track

Chloe Walker made it for the first three frames.

Marci bowled a 197 - and had the whole place watching as she threw FIVE STRIKES in a row. Unreal.

Kelly and Melissa in between handling the kids.

Marissa took her turn, Chloe’s turn, and Reese’s turn - she bowled more than any of us.

Guns for the tots - good parents.

Walker eating Garret’s pizza slice i think.

Melissa and JR…

Julie and George

Reese with her first spare

Focus Reese, Focus…

Walker totally got showed up by his wife.

Marissa ready for game #2

We gave Reese the 22LB ball…

PUSH, PUSH!!!

All down again!

Marci after the fifth strike

New Year’s Day - time to go skiing with the kids at Echo Ridge
Here I am prepping Reese for what would be a miserable 1.5 hours of her life.

Wiping out AGAIN.

Chloe skied for the first time too.

Face totally covered in snow.

Just simply misery.

Meanwhile, Marissa was doing runs like a champ and laughing at us suckers.

Reese’s first time on the tow rope wouldn’t be called a ’success’ by most. She made it about 12 feet.

I’m giving her the pep talk to do it again.

So Chloe bailed on skiing, but perfected the snow angel.

Then Marissa had to prove she could make a larger one.

OK, no more skiing; let’s hit the tow rope.

Guess I’ll pull them up the hill.

Chloe was thrilled, absolutely thrilled to be part of the action.

Marissa wanted out so she could ski again.

At least Brian Walker enjoyed it.
