The Birth of Parkarr and Difuentez

Blog No. 115: Parker's BDay Bash!

Woke up early-ish to help John move beds from his room to the baby's room so that the new, larger bed can be in the master bedroom. Something was missing from the box that attaches the wheels to the bedframe and they're coming by tomorrow, again, to rectify that. Their new bed is really square...

Then I got word that a birthday party was going to happen when Parkarr called, so I dashed to take a shower. By the time Taka and Parker were outside the house, I pretty much came out of the shower... XP

Parker drove Taka and me to the bowling alley by ARC, where we met up with Piper and Tom. We had to wait to get in our lanes, so we hung out in the arcade for a bit. During the middle of my fierce Tekken game, Parkarr's family arrived. They're pretty cool people! Parker's parents provided us with lane time, soda, and popcorn, which was nice. Parker's little brother really looks like him, too. XP

After we got our shoes and our balls, Piper was filling out the electric score card. Now, I have an anouncement to make:

Tom's name is now Difuentez.

It's official. I gave Tom the new nickname when he complained that everyone else's names on the bowling score card were nicknames. I should've gave him the name 8-Ball, because the score card read:

Parkarrrrrr

Rabbiman

O.Jaaayyy

Piperrrrrr

Difuentez

Would've made an awesome political issue reference. :P

The first round was awesome because I won, naturally. XP

Then the second round, I got two strikes in a row, which is a new personal record. By the time I got the second strike in a row, I kinda got the mechanics of how to bowl perfectly. Unfortunately, Tom picked up a spare in his game, which made him win by ONE point. Too bad I didn't get the Turkey, because I would've so gobbled after the third strike... 

Then we only bowled half the third round because time ran out. Taka had bowled two strikes in a row, too, and the timer ran out during Difuentez's second round where he picked up the spare. It didn't show up on his score though. XP 

After the epic bowling match, we went into the little arcade. I still had some change left, so I went to try my luck at the moving square game. I was only three squares away from getting another iPod too... Then Piper wanted to go play DDR, and I said I'll do it if we all do it at the same time. So we played five-person DDR. I mainly got one square most of the time, because we switched between rounds. The last round was awesome because Difuentez and I got the outside directional arrows, Piper and Parkarr got both the up and down arrows, and Taka played on both of the inside arrows. XP

Then the five of us booked to the Sizzler down the road, where the burgers were kinda big and it mostly consisted of half a head of lettuce. I got some soft serve ice cream though, which kinda made up for our last Sizzler trip because I was in the mood for ice cream for the longest time. Taka also got her clam chowder, too. XP

Then we went home. :D

My Question:

What's the most memorable moment you've had in a bowling alley/arcade?

The Santa Cruz Trip (w/Piper) COUNTDOWN!

How many more days must I endure until I get to see the Midget Queen?
