High Schoolers Hit the Bowling Alley
|
|
Last Saturday, 14 high school students hit the bowling alley at Main Event for an afternoon of bowling, laughing and a whole lot of Blue Icees! Angelina and Katie wowed the crowd with their bowling skills in the first lane, while Mo was quite masterful in the second lane. Maggie, Emily, Eden and Anne all proved that girls can handle a bowling ball just as well as guys, and Alex used those long arms to blast the ball down the alley. John and Ashley proved that it is possible to bowl without ever stopping your conversation and Alexandra was the ultimate cheerleader and sharer of game tokens. Everyone also got to visit with Caroline, which was a great surprise! Hope to see everyone at the next social event!
