Visit from Uncle Jason

Back in May my brother, Jason, came out to Albuquerque for a short little vacation. Only happy to oblige his whim (and take a couple of days off myself!), we decided that it would be best to complete the following tasks:

A. Drink Plenty of Beer
B. Drive Go-Karts
C. Drink Plenty of Beer
D. Go Bowling
and
E. Drink Plenty of Beer

So that's what we did! Have to say that we had a blast acting like goof balls, especially on the go-kart track! But who knew that go-karts would make us so dang car sick?! Perhaps it was because it was an indoor track and we were breathing too many exhaust fumes, but when we got done with our 5 or 6 laps, we were both a tad ill.

To remedy that, we drank some beer...

:)

We also did a little bowling and I gotta say, we are indeed pros! Just look at our form!

(To be fair, we both had bowling lessons when we were kids... I don't think it helped any, just look at these scores...)

I am an "arc" bowler. Which means my first game is pretty good and then I go downhill REALLY fast. Matt, on the other hand, gets BETTER as he drinks and bowls more. Go figure...

GAME 1:
Kerrie (aka "Stryker"): 143
Jason (aka "Trucker"): 102
GAME 4:
Stryker: 126
Trucker: 142

The rest of Jason's mini-vacation was spent hanging out around the house and back porch. I think he came for the coldest days of Spring, so it's a shame that he didn't get to see the great weather that we usually get. Oh well, next time...

I'll end with a few parting shots of Jason and Carter (*tears up a little*). A month later and Carter is STILL talking about Jason. "Jason's bed?" (where Jason slept in our guest room), "Jason goes home?" (he had to head back to Kansas), "Jason's puppy" (Ellie, the Basset Hound, who is "silly" and gives "lots of kisses"), etc.
(next one is a little fuzzy, but it's still a great pic!)
And a quick photo before I took Carter to school, Jason to the airport, and myself back to work:
Had a great time, Jason, let's do it again soon! Love ya, bro!

PS And yes, we drank plenty of beer in 2 and half days :)
