Wii BOWLING TOURNAMENT
Here it came and there it went. February 13th was the Wise Owl Senior Center Wii Bowling Tournament. So this took place in Avondale which is a small town within the City Limits of Phoenix, Arizona. Our team loaded a small bus or van and headed south at 7:15 A.M. Very early for me, but believe it or not I got up early and was the first one to be at our departure spot which was the Wise Owl. After about an hour and a half, we arrived at the huge sports complex where the tournament was to take place. Of course, most of the ladies headed to the bathroom first thing upon arrival. That was a long trip but we weren't to the point where anyone was asking "Are we there yet". Avondale had several teams going; we just had a team of four players going on. So we were split into teams and we had two of our people playing with two of another team. Now I have to brag a little at this point. I had only one practice session prior to the tournament date. First play I got a strike and thereafter got several more which was really great for me. Why was this great for me? I have been reality bowling twice in my entire age. First time I scored 29. The second time was when I took my grandson bowling for his birthday when he was in high school. I don't remember my score but I'm sure it was not much higher than 29.. But after that game and using the lightest ball they had, my wrist and forearm became swollen and I swore off bowling until now when I tried this Wii bowling game. It doesn't have that affect, doesn't hurt my wrist at all. I recommend it for Seniors. Back to the tournament. The other two from our team did great and they were winners. After all the competition was completed, we had a wonderful meal served. We had salad, five or so different kinds of pizzas, and cookies of several different kinds, and raspberry tea, lemonade, and water. It was wonderful and fresh. I think they baked the cookies there on location. After that there was the long ride back to Wickenburg. I hadn't mentioned there were drawings and prizes was Valentine's Candy.
