Bowling with the Bielefeld Boys


I hadn't been bowling in ages so the boys and I decided to go out for a night of fun on the lanes. Here is Jack, Stephen, Kevin and Marsel (Ick Ick) playing with their balls.

I think Jack was making fun of my bowling skills. I managed to make four gutter balls in a row. I am not a very good bowler...
