Day 43: Bowling Buds and Yacht Clubs

Course: Day off!

Kathy brought us coffee and pastries in the morning and it was pretty nice to wake up to. We hung around and played basketball until lunch time when Kathy and the "Moms of Hope" who have been sponsoring that lunch for a while now came. We had lunch with them and a few people with Spina Bifida. I got to eat lunch using adaptive eating utensils and it was really interesting to try something new. The spoon had a handle that wrapped around my fingers.

After lunch we went bowling with the Spina Bifida of Milwaukee organization. I bowled with Travis and Tony, who both did better than me despite being in wheelchairs. They're bowling machines. We all had a blast bowling with the clients and over-exaggerating celebrations when something good happened. When Travis and I weren't bowling he liked to vent to me about his bad luck with girls. I'd try to give him some inspiration and change the subject to something about his successes with girls, but it didn't always work. The guy had his eyes set on one girl that just didn't want him back. Whoever that girl is - you're missing out on one amazing dude.

After bowling we went to a yacht club to eat with the Davidson family. They're actually the same Davidsons as the Harley-Davidson motor cycle company. Usually we get to go for a boat road out on the water, but when we got there it started pouring down rain so we didn't get to. We still enjoyed each others' company and had the same great laughs at dinner as always.
