I discovered Bocce Ball today!
And I lOVED it. I was at my sister's for her Nephew's first birthday, all the adults were out back playing... it was loads of fun. I think I'll buy a set.

7. That's the best part!
My brother in law's in laws are are Italian, (stereotypical ones) and it's hard not to laugh watching the show. Even the one year old, picture a one year old kid with tight curly hair wearing a track suit.... as well, when he talks (Babytalk still) he waves his hands around.

14. I did alright
My moment of triumph was when I tossed it and knock a green out of the way while making that toss closest hence winning the end
