Corwin went to his school mate Joey’s birthday party this afternoon. It was at GT’s Western Bowl which is just south of I-74 near Prospect. We dropped him off at 4 and went back to pick him up at 5:45. The kids did some bowling then had a party down in the basement with presents and cake. Corwin told us that he won the bowling and that he had a score of 84, which would make it not surprising that he won. It’s also more than Mom frequently scores. We were a bit sceptical but Corwin is good with numbers so I think that he would get that right.
But Corwin, having surpassed Mom, aimed for Dad. After the party the kids went up to the arcade to play a few games (Mom and Dad arrived just as party was finishing). Corwin played one of the throw the basketball in the hoop games. Sadly, Corwin got 4 in and Dad got none (although I was giving most of the balls to Corwin since he was supposed to be the one playing. Yeah, that’s the ticket! Besides, I got more in on the football one than Corwin).
Corwin also bowled electronically. This game had a trackball which was spun to fling the ball down the alley. The first game Corwin scored 121, which I thought was a good score. Corwin insisted on playing again and that time he got 180. Of course, I could have beaten that but I figured, hey, it’s Corwin’s time to shine, he deserves his moment of triumph so why show him up? Which I could have done. If I wanted.
