1. the dots on the floor boards and the arrows on the pins are helpful hints.
2. Count the floor boards if you want to adjust your throw.
3. To put a spin on the ball, follow through like you're shaking someone's hand.
Let me just say I'm not the world's best bowler. These tips didn't help so much. I'm going to vouch for myself and say I may have needed a lighter ball. I managed to get one strike that was really a spare and maybe two spares? We discovered that slow and steady was my most beneficial method. I still got smoked. 54 and 64 for bowling scores, oi vey, I think I could use some practice but it's still tons of fun!
When we came back, the Bowl was full of kid activities! It was First Pres's Field Day! Complete with pizza, music, and games, it looked like a blast! I think Allison and I wanted to be kids again. I remember field days at BL and we always enjoyed it. No school and you get to play all day, now that's a kids' finest dream come true!
Well Allison (my temporary roommate and wonderful friend) and I managed to make two halfway decent meals (spaghetti and honey mustard chicken). I also learned that its a whole lot faster and easier to make food if the chicken is thoroughly thawed. There's a tongue twister for ya, try saying it three times fast!
I have come up with oh maybe 150 oh i don't even know how many, but about five months worth of activities for students to do outside of school (promoting a healthful lifestyle which includes spiritual and relational aspects, physically fit activities, and healthy eating habits). I thought I was half way but, not quite, I've got to have 365. I also made up a one year PE curriculum for fifth graders and we're still working on the catching, fleeing, an dodging lesson. Welcome to the world of Education!
It hasn't been all work though, we managed to fit in some play (movies and games!) Saw Princess and the Frog and enjoyed some cookie dough! MD made us delicious tacos and we caught up with some of the girls still around in Jackson. It was neat to watch the Disney movie because I've been to New Orleans and they did a great job of depicting it. I knew some of the names and cultural aspects so that's always exciting! I have to say there's still nothing like the original Disney movies.
In other news, I am becoming more and more like my mom, not a bad thing mind you. I just can't make it through a movie without falling asleep, no matter what time of day. KimJo, I did it with poor Allison too, we stopped half way through. Guess I'm getting to be an old lady. After you hit 20, man things change!
One week until I'll be back in my hometown, good ol' South Carolina. Oh how I've missed your smiling faces and beautiful places! A friend asked if SC is really pretty and I don't always think of it in that light, though I've had a few people ask that question. I suppose we don't have a whole lot we are famous for but our area is beautiful in its own way. It's just home to me!
