We finished our bowling league yesterday afternoon. It was fun for the kids, but we're ready to be done. They had a great time learning to bowl. They learned to focus and aim for that pin way down at the end of the lane. They had to pay attention and wait patiently. They met new kids their ages. They played on teams of three so James and Joe were on a team with another older boy and John and Joel were on a team with a boy their age. Both kids that joined their teams were just the sweetest guys.
Each week the boys received tokens and a wristband for the arcade next store. We've saved them and some boring day this summer we'll go spend them. They also had pizza and drinks yesterday as part of the deal!
I suggested that the bowling alley have leagues earlier in the day during the summer. We would join again, but hate going at 4:00 in the afternoon. By the time we get home to eat it's 6:00. We like to be done with outside activities by late afternoon except for soccer season from August-November. Apparently they keep schedule with the schools, can you picture me rolling my eyes now, and parent's work schedules. Never mind the countless kids that have a WHOLE summer with nothing to do all day and parents who don't work or work late shifts. I guess they can't find thirty kids or so out of the probably 200,000 people that live in the nearby communities. Whatever! I've got four just in my family!
