BOWLING!

Last night the bowling portion of the Larson Family Pentathalon took place at AMF.

Scott bowled 115, with several spares and a strike! Lesley started strong (with a spare in the first frame) but ended up bowling only 98. Ian was obsessed with all the "baaaawws" rolling around, and clapped every time we knocked any pins down.

Scott took the GOLD in bowling, and Lesley took the SILVER. Because Ian showed up to this event, he gets the BRONZE medal. Our camera gets DQ'd for not having working batteries at the bowling alley.

That puts our medal count at:

Scott: 2 GOLD, 1 SILVER
Lesley: 1 GOLD, 2 SILVER
Ian: 1 BRONZE

Stay tuned for results from the Creative Writing and Pie Eating events later tonight!

So, when the Lar-son Fa-mi-ly
gets together, it's a par-ty

Our com-pe-ti-tion can get quite fierce,
but our sense of fun is hear-ty!

Min-i Golf, Pie-eat-ing, Scrabb-le,
plus some song writing and some bow-ling,

We both train all year,
when we com-pete,
it's for the Gold!

We talk smack, but it's all for show -
'cause it's the Lar-son Family Pentathalon!

Les loves Scott, as well as their tot,
His name is I-an, he is so cool,

Les loves Scott as well as their tot,
They'll have a-no-ther in October

Work or play, they'll have a great day
It's all the same if they're to-ge-ther,

Watch our fam-'ly grow!
We will be strong!
And we all know --

We'll raise our fam-'ly e-ter-nall-y
Be-cause to-ge-ther we want to be!

Lesley received the SILVER medal with 52 points.

With two events down and three to go, the medal count is now:

Scrabble!

Results from the Larson Family Pentathalon are in!

On Sunday night the first of the Larson Family Pentathalon games took place. It took two nights of Scrabbling to complete the event, mostly because the pregnant competitor had to go to bed before the game concluded.

The GOLD medal went to Lesley, with a Scrabble score of 354 points. Her shining moment came with the word "migrates", which was worth a whopping 81 points!

Scott took the SILVER medal with 275 points, and with only two tiles remaining at the end of the game.
