Amanda had another opportunity this year to play on the Pinkerton Astros Special Olympics bowling team. She would practice every week on Tuesdays. When Amanda would roll the ball, she would watch it go down the lane and turn her body the way she wanted the ball to go.
Amanda was a little discouraged that she came in last... but I was proud of her that she got a strike. She also had encourage-ment from her friend Jody (above), and from one of the assistants, Miss Guarano (below). Jody was in her art class last year and has been a really good friend. She is graduating this year though and Amanda will miss her. She enjoyed bowling but is looking forward to a different sport.

EXCELLENT, Amanda! We are so proud of you, too! For the record, I can only get a pin down with the bumpers down, so you are doing WAY better than your old auntie!
Um, you aren't supposed to move your body to the way you want the ball to go? I thought that is how the game is played!
