Hazie Takes The Gold!

Did you know that kids in wheelchairs can bowl? I had no idea until a few weeks ago! Check this out!

We took the 8 grandkids and Mhairi, a friend from Scotland, to the University bowling alley when we were in Utah. It was really fun and we discovered some undeveloped talent too. Miss Chloe definitely has the athletic gene and she did really well. She had never bowled in real life but she loves bowling on the Wii. She transferred her skills nicely and had several strikes and spares over the two games they played. It was really great to watch them all playing together on side by side lanes.

All the kids had fun and did a great job even though for a lot of them it was their first time to give it a try. Most of them got some strikes and all had their own little style of walking up and letting that ball fly.

Chloe and Connor

Julia nailed two strikes in a row!
