Last weekend Spence and I were having dinner and figuring out what we wanted to do that evening. We were feeling adventurous, I guess, because Spence suggested we hit a bowling alley we have not gone to together yet and away we went! It was such a treat to head over to do something we have not done in a long time! Lucky for us we didnt have any wait time and were able to get started right away. It was really fun to get into the rhythm of launching the ball down the lane and seeing how many pins I could knock out. Spencer nailed some strikes after barely choosing which ball he'd use! He got a strike after we’d hardly warmed up, then another, then ANOTHER!! I guess that’s called a ‘Turkey!’ Haha… I was so impressed. It was thrilling to see such a smashing hit each time his 12 pound ball rolled down the lane. I was using a 9 pound one and although it felt about right for me my aim was off sometimes. I was not able to knock out quite so many pins. I had the thrill of getting a strike and even some spares on occasion, though. But it was balanced with a few gutter balls. Oops. Through it all though, Spence was very encouraging and even though I didn’t quite break 100 like I hoped, I think my game is improving! There was a big group beside us too and we enjoyed seeing how their game played out. Wow, though- Spence was really able to wail those pins. I quite like this sport too. Who knows, maybe we'll join a league?
