Coleman Strikes Out

To celebrate MLK Day, we decided to go bowling.  The first place we went was out of business, the second had an hour wait, but the third place had an open lane, just for us.  Everyone got fitted for shoes and picked out a ball.  Coleman picked up a very heavy ball and dropped it, luckily not on his foot.  We entered our names and started to bowl. Jono set Coleman up with a bowling ramp and on Coleman's first turn, he got a strike! We all clapped for him, but he was disappointed not to get a second turn.  He didn't get many second turns, he had five stikes in all and ended up bowling a 176!  It was so amazing.  He really got into it, he was fist pumping and giving everyone high fives.  It was so funny.

We bowled a second game, but Coleman lost his mojo.  He had more fun driving the car on the arcade game nearby.  This time the entertainer was Rosie.  She started off really well and was soon ahead of Bud.  The trash talking started!  She was taunting and teasing and it was all Bud could do to not physically start fighting her.  Then, in his last turn Bud pulled ahead and Rosie was devastated.  She cried and cried and cried and could not be consoled.  Jono, not hiding a smile, gave her the talk about trash talking.  "Rosie, if you are going to talk smack, you have to be able to back it up."  Bud learned a lesson also, the best way to deal with a talker, is points on the board.

Jen F. was above all the rivalry, and bowled two good games.  Jono, of course, is great at anything involving a ball.  He wants me to point out that the computer made a mistake and didn't calculate his score correctly in the last frame, it should be higher.  I had a great time with my camera, documenting the event.  It's all I ever want, to spend a day like this with my family.
