Well, another bowling tournament with the kids this weekend. Tank went off and played with 8track, and I cheered the kids on. They did fantastic. Tiny tank finished about 100 pins over average, but Tankette brought the big guns this weekend. Last year, she came in 3rd in all events for her division (out of 1100), and we won't know how she placed for several weeks/months. What we do know is that she finished 421 pins over average total for her 3 series.

She hit her all time high game today with a 194 (almost her first 200 game) and hit a huge milestone. She got her first 500 series.

She has now qualified for another tournament in August of all of the kids who bowled 500's or 600's this year.

The bad news is it is a scratch tournament, and her average is much lower than most of the other kids. It would be great experience though.

Mom was sooo proud she cried. Tank looked ready to bust a button or two.

They were great this weekend, and we actually did not have any issues with them(unusual for teenagers)

The only one suffering ill effects(other than a small hangover - Mrs.Tank) was 8. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I can feel your pride just by reading your post. And, as a parent, I know how good that feeling is. No doubt you're a good mommy. Tuck
