2010 Summer Bowling Camp

Last spring I was thinking I should get Joey into some kind of sport, but he didn't really sound real interested in much, except maybe soccer. But soccer just sounded too cliche for my taste for a 4 year old! ha ha! But then a friend of mine from church said something about a summer bowling league she was getting her sons in and I thought that's great! I asked Joey if he wanted to and he did! It was so fun - and a good deal I thought! Once a week it was only $7 for 2 games of bowling, shoes, lunch (pizza and soda), a bowling shirt to keep, and an end-of-the-year party w/ trophies for everyone.

Joey absolutely loved it! He was most excited the first couple weeks, but even once the newness of it wore off, he still enjoyed it. Their team name was the 'Sea Monsters'. They finished the league 7th place out of 12, so not bad at all for all new bowlers!

The one story is at the end of the season - everyone got a trophy. They had special trophies for top scores and such, but they had participation trophies for everyone else. Well they messed up and didn't have enough participation trophies. Guess who didn't get one?? The 3 boys on our team!! :( They were broken hearted. But the bowling alley ordered them and they got them just a few days later and Joey is convinced that he got the 'best' trophy and that's why it took longer to make it. ha ha!

Here is Joey with his team! From left to right is Aaron, Dallin, and Joey. Aaron and Dallin are his little buddies from church, and Joey loved being on their team!
