So this weekend was the BIG state bowling tournament in Stockton. I think I overheard the announcer say over 985 teams (of 4 ppl on each team) signed up for this championship tournament! The tournament is every weekend for 2 months in order for all teams to compete. In addition to team series, there is a "Doubles" and "Individual" competition.
Michael's team consisted of his Dad, Aunt Yvonne, & Doyle a local bowler from Hanford. It was so funny because Yvonne hasn't bowled in months....whereas the fellas bowl at least 1-2 times a week...and she was the one to come up with the BEST series for the 3 games that the team bowled on Saturday!
Meanwhile the bowling cheerleaders consisted of my mother-in-law, myself, Grandma Rose (Duane's mom) & Cousin Diane (in red). We hooped & hollared at every strike & winced at every 4-10 split or frame left opened. Let me tell you, I think I've exasperated all my terminology in these 3 short paragraphs, lol! I mean it's not that hard of a game to watch & understand...but I don't know if I could pull it off once I stepped up to the lanes!
And with any sport (believe me I've heard a million times over argued that bowling is a sport) a beveredge is best enjoyed. My drink of choice of course is the Frog Juice...aka Medouri Sour. I think that it's hilarious to see that even some people actually bowl BETTER after a little alcohol consumption.
Take for example my husband Mr. 300.... who during "Doubles" had a very nice 247 game. It takes concentration & follow through (aka 5 Budlight Limes)...we were a little disappointed at the shortfall of a perfect game at State, but game well bowled!
To cap off the weekend we decided to eat at this little hidden Mexican place (haha, I know your thinking how hidden in the ghetto of Stockton could a good Mexican restaurant be?!). To much of a surprise, we had free entertainment to enjoy while chowing down on chimichangas & enchiladas! And who do you suppose they look at when questioned in ESPANOL which kind of song we would like to hear??...well it wasn't Grandma Rose!! Haha!!
