Family Bowling Night

Last night we had our first Family Bowling Night and it was a lot of fun! There were 14 of us (Frank, Me, Amanda, Amy, Atley, Nick, Joanna, Ethan, Harmony, Xyla, Tiffany, Shawn, Andrea, and Justin) and we met at Sonic, had some eats and headed to the bowling alley! Zack even showed up after work, but not in time to get into the bowling.

Here's my Top 10 List of Things I Learned at Family Bowling Night:

1) Never walk up behind Atley when he is getting ready to bowl (right, Amy? How's the chin today?)

2) Amy has quite the competitive nature when challenged by Shawn

3) Harmony doesn't like to lose! She was really cute though when she knocked the pins down, blowing kisses and high-fiving everyone afterwards.

4) It takes 3 lanes to accommodate 12 bowlers

5) Nick is a great bowler - until Zack shows up! Guess big brother made him nervous, but before Zack arrived, Nick had only one open frame going into his 7th. Still he ended up with a 116!

6) It's okay to fall down when you are bowling, as long as the end result is a STRIKE (right, Frank? He said it was all strategy.)

7) If you volunteer to bowl for someone else, don't be surprised if it turns out to be a strike (right, Andrea? She bowl for Joanna twice, throwing strikes both times)

8) Just because someone throws 2 strikes in a row doesn't mean they'll get a third (right, Tiffany? After Andrea threw a strike for Joanna, then for herself, Tiffany thought, "Why not, she seems to be on a roll" and let her throw for her. Her third time up? ONE pin!)

9) Putting all the girls on one team and expecting them to finish at the same time as the rest of us and with decent scores ... NOT going to happen!

and last but not least,
10) If you invite 'em, expect 'em! I was so thrilled with the turnout! We will definitely have to do it again!
