I didn’t get any outfit pictures, 

but thought I would just share photos  of my bowler for his 

successful tournament weekend..

Waiting to start day one of the tournament with his new shirt. 

He was in such a great mood, as after having a huge slump since last Spring

when he got his first performance ball , he finally put everything together this past month. 

In fact last Saturday, he had his first clean game, meaning that there were no pins left standing as 

he bowled all Spares and Strikes!  

For this to happen one week before the tournament , set him up to have great confidence.  

He loves having his name on the back of his shirt.

I joked him that now all the coaches will be able to call him out!  

On the second day he did a fantastic job , picking up a lot of spares like in this picture. 

Several times throughout the day he did this clasping of his hands in satisfaction , 

but the funniest moment was when he clapped for himself.  

Here is his score sheet for the Singles portion of the tournament! 

We won’t know his standings for another week or so, but looks like he did pretty well 

My husband did a great job of capturing this photo and it’s my favorite of the two days. 

For my gratitude for the day I just have to say I am so grateful for our bowling family of freinds and coaches who give so much of themselves and help to build my child up!  

I am also grateful for the fun family time as his brother came home from college for the weekend to join us. 

I am grateful that my son didn’t give up and quit , as this slump has been a long one! 

I am grateful that this fun event happened shortly before his 16th birthday, as it feels like part of the celebration!
