Picture 7 in folder 7

Funny picture with a terrible flash problem.

In this picture we took Joe bowling for his 28th birthday.
We had the bumpers up in one lane and the other one was bumper less. The kids and I played on one lane and used this metal thing that you see in the background. The metal thing is cool for kids, see you put your ball on it at the top, push it and it rolls down a ramp with enough speed to get down the lane. The kids could not help but hit pins with the bumpers up and the ramp. They had a great time and my score was way higher than Joes. His team was made up of people in his family who came with us to celebrate.

One time I took my Grandma, who had a stroke, bowling with me at this place. She was in a wheelchair and this place even had a little wheelchair elevator for her to get down to the lanes. She thought she was coming to watch, but when we showed her the ramp she was so excited to get to bowl. She would put her ball on her lap, wheel out there, stick her fingers in the hole and shove it down. She was very determined. My mother was there too and we were so happy to take Grandma Donna out bowling.

This picture was when Jerika was blessed It has four generations of first daughters. My grandma was a dear friend of mine and she died a couple of years ago, I miss her and am so happy that I made so many speical memories with her before she took her Journey to Heaven.
