So, I went bowling with my friends this weekend…
…dressed as a bridal party. As one does. As it was my birthday party, I got to be the bride:
That’s our King, Nels, playing the roll of Big Mama. We sort of all patterned ourselves after a whacked-out, amped-up version of Steel Magnolias. AS ONE DOES.
Cost of bowling – $3.99 per game. Cost of rental shoes – $2.99 per pair. Expressions on the faces of the patrons at Tuttles Bowling Alley in Hopkins – priceless. Free lesson learned – life is more fun if you dress up for it.

That is too, too AWESOME.
Sounds like the Most. Fun. Ever.
I wouldn’t say patterned ourselves. I would say it just sort of happened. Which was fun anyway. I had a lovely time being Crazy Aunt Irma with my Disco Hair….
And you made a lovely bride…. sniff…
Also? Make sure your outfit isn’t so vintage that it falls apart as you start bowling. Just an FYI.
Hysterical! I wish I had the guts to do something like that!
Too dang awesome!!
Next time, I say, why not go bowling dressed as the cast of the “Flintsones”? Hee-hee…. I *love* your guys’ and gals’ creativity, originality, and plain ol’ spunk. Why be like everyone else and dress “normal”? Just dress. LOL
May I also add that it’s always more fun with A LOT of friends doing this! And, so far, my SIL, my cousin and my friend since we were wee, Megan, ALL want in on an upcoming excursion! Can I just say, we are AWESOME! And our ringleader takes the cake! (Birthday joke-hehehe)
and I kinda like the FLINTSTONES idea…
Too fun!
Larue is right, you made a lovely “bride.” Glad you had a great birthday!
Thanks, Renee, for the correction.
Dangnabbit, I need new glasses. Or better detail orientation. Ugh! LOL So, ya think Erin should be Wilma, Betty, or Anne Margrock? Hee-hee….
Oh Kathleen, I am the token redhead in the group. I get to be Wilma. Erin gets to play the Eva Gabor guest star. Heh.
