I spent the weekend with my cousins again. I haven't seen them for a few weeks so it was nice to hang out. Friday night, Maree and I went to the LA Auto Show since my uncle had free tickets. It was ok. Nothing exciting. I always remembered it being so exciting in SD when I was younger.

Saturday night, I went cosmic bowling with some cousins and their friends. I finally got to break in my bowling shoes! I've had them for over a year I think and never had the opportunity to use them. By no means is my ownership of a pair of bowling shoes indicative of my bowling skills. I used to be pretty good when I was a kid, but now I could barely break 100, LOL. I just bought them because I figured in a lifetime it would be worth it since I could save on rentals. I only paid $15 bucks for them and they're Brunswick. I actually didn't even have to pay anything (rentals or for the game) that night! Already it's doing me good ;)

On Sunday, we went snowboarding. We attempted to go to Mtn High, but due to the rain on Saturday and the holiday on Monday the mountain was PACKED. They didn't even get new snow, so that was weird. They actually closed the sales until 2PM because there was so many people. I didn't need to purchase a ticket, but my cousins did. We didn't know if we should wait a couple hours or go somewhere else, but we decided to go to Baldy. Baldy had the WORST conditions I have ever ridden in. Last year, it was probably the best trip even though it started out bad. The snow was sooo packed and there were a lot of icy patches. There were a lot of people there for their sight-seeing service so just trying to get on the lifts was a nightmare and so was riding around a bunch of families. When it was time to go, the line for the lifts was so long and to make it worse it was seriously FREEZING and there was wind chill. We waited in line for probably an hour or more, and the ride down couldn't have felt longer. I was shivering the whole time because I didn't have enough layers on. I honestly thought I had an acute case of hypothermia, haha... my hands and feet were STILL cold when I got home!!! I think I'm finally thawed out now :)

i bought mine at some kmart that was closing down so i got it for pretty cheap... i dont know if brunswick is considered a top brand, but considering it's a brand i see all over the bowling alleys (like those ball returns are brunswick i think, haha), then i think it'd be a decent brand.
