The Idaho Special Olympics had their bowling tournament on Tues, the 18th. My mom teaches a special education class at Liberty Elementary School, and her class put together a team. Spencer and I went to go cheer on the team, but Spencer was kind of a nightmare. We had to stay behind the bowling area, and all Spencer wanted to do was run around up by the lanes, and play with the brightly colored balls. So we left basically before they even started. We watched the opening ceremonies and that was about it. It was funny because they asked a few of the athletes, "What does it mean to be in the Special Olympics?" The first two athletes said really cute answers about good friends, and good fun. Then a boy from my mom's class got up and said that it was about, "going bowling, and getting a strike." Another little boy after him then told us that it was about, "getting bad guys." It was really funny. I never heard how things ended up, but one kid from my mom's class got a 140, and another got a 138. Not bad...of course there were bumpers, but thats still pretty good.
It only lasted for a few minutes, but this is Spencer, mesmorized by the bright colored balls flying down the lanes.
