Bocce!
July 24th, 2011. (3 years, 1 month old.) by benWe went to Liz and Derek’s for a Fourth of July BBQ, and they have a Bocce court at their park! I have to say, the adults were having a hard time sharing their Bocce balls, even when they were just lying around like they weren’t using them. Derek says they were playing a style called “Old Italian Rules”. But I have an idea….Maybe next time, we can bring some extra balls and I can plan on the adjacent court with a style called “Three-year old Rules”.
Liz tried to give me some pointers, but the best way to learn is to try it yourself!
I also got to sit in Liz and Derek’s motorcycle sidecar….with a nice stuffed animal that everyone else calls an “Angry Bird”. But if you ask me, I call it a ‘mad chick’!
I love Ben’s Bocce ball picture. I’m sure he took to it right away. I guess it goes with eating pizza.
I wasn’t able to enjoy the video though as it said it was private! Hope to see that soon.
Sorry. Editor error. This private video should be fixed now.
Seems to work fine now.
HI Ben, I come from an ethnic community where there have always been a lot of Italians and Croatians and I have never even been on a bocce ball court! And here you are in Santa Rosa throwing the balls all around! How about that! I hear it is a lot like bowling but without the hyper atmosphere and the snack shack. You look as though you were really enjoying yourself! Luv yu, Ma
