Kenny, along with his and all of the Duval County ESE classes, got to kick off their Special Olympics activities with bowling today! Kenny was looking forward to this event for the past week, reminding Chad and I every day that it was coming up... and every morning checking in to see "is it Saturday yet?... is it my bowling time yet?" Usually Saturday mornings are pretty lazy around our house, but not today! Kenny had to be at the bowling alley this morning at 8 o'clock to register, and he was up at about 6 (dressed in the same thing he wore yesterday) to make sure he wasn't late! Chad volunteered to take Kenny, and I stayed home with Tylar and Caitlynn. We wanted this to be Kenny's special time, and I think he really enjoyed being able to do something where he was the only and center of attention!
There were about 100 kids at the bowling alley, and each child got to play 2 games with about 5 kids on each lane. Playing without "bumpers", Kenny had a golf clap worthy 37 in the first game, and came through in a clutch in true Elway form, with a 62 in the second. Overall Kenny placed 2nd on his lane, being awarded a red ribbon for his accomplishment! Chad says that if it wasn't for "Johnny" pulling out a strike in the last frame, Kenny would have placed 1st. Oh well... if you take a look at the picture, he is very proud of his red ribbon!

Way to go Kenny! You must take a little after your name sake. Grandpa Martin (and Grandma too) have been bowlers for years. I remember going to the lanes for Sat. leagues back when my parents were still married. And watching many hours of professional bowling on TV. Exciting huh? Now, I did not get any of this bowling gene. I lost the last bowling adventure I had. Oh well. Glad you had so much fun. Love, Auntie Vycci
