Rock STAR Bowling Event

Yeah, so as an "extension" to P.E. we took the 3rd graders bowling...Yeah, Not so much with the noisey ride and the pure exhaustion I was fighting...BUT it actually was a ton of fun!! The kids were contained at the alley and they actually took turns and were even more excited when they got a spare or a strike!! Now granted it was bumper bowling but still they did really well. Some of the ones that never seem to light up at school actually smiled when I gave them a high five. The teachers even got a little competitive. My "second Mom" Susie beat me and she was overjoyed with letting me know how bad(come on it was only by like 15 points).

But all this to say I usually dread field trips...we never have help and the kids act like they've never been in public before...Today was different. The kids were just in the moment and enjoying throwing a ball down the lane. And they were encouraging each other...I had never really seen that with this batch of kids...and of course, there was little Juan who got the highest score out of anyone there...149!! Every time he got a strike, he would literally bounce on over to where we were and proclaim with much pride that he was doing Awesome!! It made me smile. It is nice to smile.

I am done...must take nap before community group...I usually don't take naps but staying up late last night was worth it!!!
