WINDMILLS...ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE DOING THEM!
Sometimes, they even do them AT THE BOWLING ALLEY!
Just ask Rachel...
...and Stefany...
All these pictures make me wonder is, "How did they find such an empty bowling alley?!" Every time I try to go bowling, there are kids and people EVERYWHERE!!!!"
THANKS TO CROSSFIT BY OVERLOAD...
...for turning me on to this YouTube video...
THAT DOES IT! WHEN I GET RICH, I'M BUYING WEST POINT.
