I had a great time bowling this season. I bowled on a team called the Bowling Buddies this year. It was a fun team and we ended up taking 2nd place for the year. I am always surprised when my team does well. I just don't keep track of how we are doing. I am more concerned about having fun. I know that we always do our best regardless of where it leaves us in the standings.
Today was a fun day. We bowled different ways that just made it fun. The first game (and ended up being all three games because there were enough eggs) if you got a strike you got to choose an Easter Egg. Inside was a paper that said you got money, a prize, or candy. I ended up getting five eggs. A few with money that totaled $4.50 and then one with a prize. I chose hand soap. It sure made it fun. The second game everyone got strikes in frames 3-6-9. That made the game go by fast. The third gave if you hit 8 pins on your first ball it counted as a strike, I had strikes my first 5 frames. I ended with a 200 game which means I had open frames after the fifth. We were competing with different teams but we didn't know which ones. The winning teams got more money. Our team never won. If we had we could have added 4 to 5 more dollars for each win. It's all fun and all money was a bonus. I ended up with $84.95! WooHoo!!!
We also had pot luck which always makes bowling more fun! ☺ I took "bunny bait" and it was a hit. I had a few ladies ask me how to make it. A lady that worked at the bowling alley was carrying the bucket with the popcorn in it around asking who made it. She loved it! It's always rewarding to take a pot luck that so many like!
I am planning on bowling on this team again in the fall....if Sheryl doesn't come back. If she does I will move on to another team. I am only going to sub this summer. Carla had wanted to bowl but realized she was going to miss a lot of days and decided not to. I was glad because I only wanted to sub. When you sub you don't pay anything and get to know more teams better....it's fun!
I like all the wonderful friends I have made over the years by bowling. I like the sound of the bowling alley when pins are crashing and bursting. I like the chatter that fills the air. Bowling is a fun hobby.
