We didn't go to church this morning as Aurora got signed up for a bowling tournament that (I was told) we needed to have her there for at 9 a.m.. Rei and Kimmie decided to go along as well to cheer her on, so off we went to the air force base. We were way early for everything! When it came time for Aurora to check in it was discovered she didn't have her bowling membership card with, so we ended up making a round trip back home to find her wallet. Got her signed in just before the tournament was scheduled to start, then sat around and waited. I sat and visited with the wife of a member of Eric's bowling league (her daughter bowls with the kids), and another family joined us as well. Aurora did very well in the initial standings of 4 games, bowling 2 - 167s, a 217, and a 183; this put her into the next round, where she bowled a 160, and she was bummed it wouldn't be enough to move on. She was wrong, and was in second place with her total score (including handicap), so she bowled in the third round, scoring a 195, and beating her competition. This put her in the final round against someone she knows, and she bowled a 190, taking first place and earning a $200 scholarship award. She is very excited, and Eric is proud (and frustrated he wasn't there to see it). It was a lot of fun to watch, and exciting that she won!
Brianne got in from OK an hour after she was supposed to because she had a layover in TN and the runways were icy. She came home wired on energy drinks and lack of sleep. It has gotten really noisy around here between Reimond, Cliff, and Brie. We got home from the bowling alley a few minutes ago and Cliff has friends over, Kimmie is here, and things are loud and wild. Gotta go see if I can slow things down a bit.
