Bowling for HOLLAs!

Those of you who know him know that my Dad has some infamously overused phrases.  Included amongst these are: "A little travelling music maestro," "I was born at night, just not last night," "You go girl," and most recently "Hate to do this to ya- Mickey Mantle."  Growing up he would regularly spout off these phrases and I never really understood what any of them meant.  One of those phrases was "Bowling for dollars."  I still don't get it.  So yes, my title creativity is depleted so much that I had to stretch so far as to cheesily change up a phrase I don't understand. 

On to the real point of this post- Matt, Dena's fabulous boyfriend, had a birthday recently.  Matt doesn't like anyone to make a big deal out of his birthday so we decided that the best way to celebrate without raising a fuss from him was to just show up at the bowling alley he and Dena were supposed to be at.  Birthday Party Crashing is the new Wedding Crashing.

Similar to most outings with this crew, it turned into an 8th grade dance party upon arrival.  Per usual, the girls hung with the girls and the boys posted up around the nearest TV and/or mobile device that gets ESPN.  Tired of listening to football talk (who are YOU going to pick in your suicide league this week?!)- we found other ways of entertaining ourselves.  Namely bowling as Jersey Shore characters. 

Happy Birthday to you, Mr. Matt!  Thanks for being born... and thanks for giving us an excuse to act a fool yet again in a public place. 

Snooki, JWoww, Angelina & Sammi Sweethrt.  Yes, that definitely happened.

Austin, Matt & Brendan.  Boys love pictures!

Apparently my lane etiquette sucks.  Whooooooops.

You'd have thought she just messed up a turkey.  She actually probably just rolled her second consecutive gutterball.

Typical.

These thumbs up were not for Laura.

Did Austin move all night?

and lastly, I leave you all with a clip of pure genius... and precisely the reason you can't help but love Dena.
