After a late night celebrating with friends the evening before, an afternoon game of barefoot lawn bowls was just everyone needed.
So at 1pm on Sunday afternoon we met up with Tom, Nerissa and Nerissa's family for a few hours on the green :)
I am not sure of the exact history behind this game, but there are "bowls clubs" all over Australia!
[the birthday boy- playing with a drink in his hand of course!]
Lawn bowls is traditionally known as an older person's game so I thought it was very fitting that Nerissa planned to play a few games on Thomas' actual 40th birthday. You know, just to make sure we were getting him familiar with his future as a 40 something :)
This was the first time I had played barefoot bowls and let me tell you... I was awful!
The object of the game- to get your teams ball closest to the white ball at the other end of the green.
Sounds easy doesn't it?!?
Happy birthday Thomas!!!
