candlepin bowling!

Evan recently discovered candlepin bowling and now he can't get enough. It's a New England thing. Unlike regular bowling, each player uses three balls per frame, the balls are much smaller and do not have holes, the downed pins are not cleared away between balls during a player's turn, and the pins are thinner, and thus harder to knock down. It's kinda like skeeball!

Montreal part deux

Evan and I returned to Montreal a few weekends ago. To make up for our complete lack of French skills, we brought Annie and Jason too! Ate some fabulous food. They all enjoyed smoked meat and I ate my share of apple/brie crepes. Explored Vieux Montreal, did some thrift shopping, watched some hockey and played some pool. Good times.
