Well the kids have finished with qualifying for Jr Gold, and it was definitely a learning experience for each of them. Spares were at a premium, and for those with the ability to capitalize on great shot making, they did very well. Unfortunately, our kids only had glimmers of shots, and missed key spares. There's been a lot of discussion on how "easy" the shot was this year, and the reality is scores are definitely higher for the kids who bowled well, but there are just as many kids who struggled. At least there were no parents screaming at kids on day three, unlike years past.
This morning, the kids head to Taylor, MI for the Youth Open team event, and Zoe finally gets to bowl with the bigger kids. Afterwards we'll be off to the Henry Ford Museum to see what they have going on down there.
The week is slowly winding down, and I've never been prouder of the kids as a group, or individually. We have had more new ones this year than any previous year and they've all gotten along swimmingly. Living in such close quarters we've had a few little tiffs, but for the most part, the experience has been incredible and memorable.
Gotta Split,
Angel
