Sometime after Christmas we had a community meeting in which we decided we wanted to go bowling together. We looked at our calendars and determined that the first free weekend we had was in March. I'm not sure what happened back in March, but we didn't go bowling. Last weekend our much anticipated bowling outing took place!
On Saturday afternoon we drove the 45 miles to Broadus for a day of bowling fun. I think we were all shocked when we walked into the bowling alley to find only four lanes in the whole place. We were also surprised to be the only group bowling on a Saturday afternoon. Some of us used bumpers and discovered that when you remove the bumpers your score can decrease by 100 points! Others of us discovered that without bumpers your score sometimes doesn't even reach 100 points. We all bowled three games and had a really great time trying to catch the action in photos.
Bowling all afternoon helped us work up a big appetite and we stopped at one of the restaurants in Ashland on our way back home. We all enjoyed burgers, fries, and pops (or in some cases the tiniest can of apple juice you've ever seen). We also got really excited about the "mud pie" dessert option only to be told it wasn't actually available! Despite our disappointment over not having dessert it was a great day spent with our great community!
