Jones & Co goes to the roller derby or not

Last night we had big plans to go to the roller derby which is only in town like three nights and year - Lita even came up and spent the night). However we showed up at the state fair ready for some derby only to discover that the place was packed sold out and you couldn't even get tickets from a scalper. Much to our dismay we decided not to go to the hockey game or the dog show (also at the fair grounds). And instead we got some supper and then went to Fountain Square for 30's & 50's duckpin bowling on vintage bowling lanes. It was a good time for all. I'd been several times before but the boys and lita didn't even know it was there and it's less than 5 minutes from my house. So we had a grand time bowling the whole area is really cool and I think we all plan to go back soon. Some photos...

Joe being "thoughtful" and Jono in the background.
Joe and his giant trophy. It's it rad.
Check out the size of mine. I'm surprised they even let me have one being as I bowled a 24 in the first game.
Lita's getting ready.
Check out the groovy lanes circa 1950 (on and there's jono too).
Old phone booths with old phones.

Joe and his bowling stance.
And because we can't not have a timer photo. We propped the camera on the scoring table.
