T-Man came home with three patches!
Carl and I were so proud of him.
Trey and Makena got 5th place overall in doubles.
That is out of 120 doubles! They did awesome.
Keep in mind that this was the first tournament for both of them.
On April 28th all five Mungers headed to Jonesboro for the Arkansas State Youth Bowling Tournament. We had fun, made tons of memories, and came home winners!
I have had some people ask me how we got into bowling. First of all let me just say that we are not "bowling people". Carl bowled some in high school but it was just for fun. I am terrible at it. The opportunity just fell in our laps, really. We were bowling with family not long after Christmas a couple of years ago and the owners told us about a scholarship league that ran for 10 weeks and started the first Saturday in January. The kids and I had been looking for an activity to join, especially for the girls. Every city league team goes to the 6th grade, so there was basically nothing for them to join. They showed interest in trying and here we are!
Back to the tournament...we bowled six games on Saturday and three on Sunday. It was a pretty quick trip, but definitely worth it. The kids were around tons of other kids and seemed to really enjoy themselves. Just to make things crystal clear, I am in NO way concerned about the socialization of my kids. I am just stating the fact that they were around plenty of other kids...for those of you who may worry about them. Forced association is NOT in any way, shape, or form socialization...I firmly believe that.
So there you have it fun, memories, and winning= AWESOME WEEKEND!!
Much Love,
Beth
