Bowling Night

Everybody loves to knock things over. Now what if I said you could knock over some pins make a game out of it? Would you be interested? This game would be called bowling. Bowling isn't always as easy as it seems.

This evening, my sons joined bowling with their cub scouts for the first time. We have watched them lifted the ball up and and pushed it with all of their strengths down to the alley. The ball kept rolling and rolling until they had reached the pins. It was not an easy task for either of them. With the support of the rack and bumper in the gutters certainly saved them from feeling shatter.

Dylan had a challenging experience because he was the only person who is the left hand on his cub scouts. Lucky, one of the Cub Scout Assistance was also a left hand. He showed him the tricks. At the end, Dylan was in a third place. Not bad for a first timer!

Ryan was the last person to bowl. His dad, who was one of the leaders, helped Ryan at the beginning of the game. At the end of few games, he ended up winning in second in his team without assistance. That even included getting two spares!

Personally, I think this was a good start for the cub scouts. The boys are looking forward to trying something new activities. David and I thought it was a positive decision to place our sons in the cub scouts.

As a HUGE believer in scouting, I think that David being one of the leaders is awesome!

Kids learn so much from scouting and from being in a group. Planing and achieving goals, learning, cooperation, respect, love of country, importance of taking care of themselves...etc.

Good for you guys!! Plus, it looks good on a college application.

Alexis is still undecided and uses both hands.
