Curling

Well, the tradition continues. Each year we've tried to have a family curling adventure around Christmas time. The past several years we've gone to the curling center here in Midland, but this year we've added a new twist: frozen milk jugs on our backyard pool. We've had to make a few adaptations and the short rink makes the sweeping pretty obsolete, but it's still great fun. Following are some pictures from a recent match-up. Dave and Christel vs. Brian and Rob. Despite a valiant comeback, Dave and Christel were able to maintain their bragging rights while beating the boys 10 to 8. Still... well curled!

Dave certainly had the best form of the evening.

Rob watches his "stone" slide past the house... again. :)

Jayber tries to provide a friendly push to help Christel score big.

Nice slide, Brian!


Can't you just feel the intensity in this toss?

And here's an action shot:
