Today, we thought it would be fun to go bowling on campus. It is much cheaper than any of the other alleys in the area. It's like $1.75 for each game and the shoes are $.50 per person, so it is a heck of a deal.
When we first got there, I became nervous because there was a large group of people there. I admit that that is one of the reasons I'd rather bowl on the Wii: because you don't have a huge audience of random people.
But, like the guy on the screen we were determined.
Unfortunately, our first frame started out... well... a little.. umm... shaky.... horrible... um.. completely untalented?
Thankfully, the game slowly improved as it went along. I used the lightest ball they had ( 10 pounds), which was still to heavy for my chicken arms. Spencer was more macho using the 13 pounder. We still ended up with a lot of open frames. Interestingly enough, we both had 10 gutter balls...We are awesome like that.
Because of the sad frames, we saw a lot of these.... I felt humiliated that the pins were laughing at me.... so mean.....
It didn't help to see the people's scores that were next to us. They got bored in like the 8th frame and they were still beating us by a long shot.... at least some of them, anyway.
We really are that good. I love how they flash "Open" in huge neon letters so that everyone in the alley can see it.
So out of the two games, we each won one of them. The first went to Brittany and the second went to Spencer.
Brittany's Win
Spencer's win.
See, at least we improved a little bit in the second game. And that is with Brittany's arm feeling like it was going to fall off after throwing a 10 pound ball like 40 times.
So when we got home we decided to try our hand at Wii bowling to make ourselves feel a little bit better.
We saw significant progress at the end of the game. Brittany won the first game!
And the second game...
So, it was a fun evening. We both agree that we have learned something today: Bowling is not our calling in life. Oh well. :-)
