Intense Olympics and Walmart . . .

What can I say to describe the fun I had over this last weekend? It was great seeing old friends again, as always, but I had no idea how much I would be doing and how much fun it would be. The best thing to do I guess is to start at the beginning and continue . . .
It started out with a basketball game. Not just any basketball game though. My friend Evan had made the great claim on Facebook that he was going to be beating me one-on-one and he seemed very confident. After walking to the basketball court, we started what would be the first of so many close games of the Olympics we partook in that day.
It was a game to 21 of course and we went through the whole game neck and neck. A few times I had a two point lead, but Evan would then go on a streak catching up. It was 20-17, me winning, and Evan came back on a four point streak to take the lead at 21, but in that game you have to win by two points, so I got two points, but then Evan got another point leaving the score at 22-22. I then, having control of the ball took a wild two-point shot from half-court and made it to win at 24-22. It was a lucky shot.
After walking home and resting, watching the Olympics, of which were many close games too. After that though, we decided to go shoot pool. I hadn’t played pool in so long and was so rusty, but some how managed to win one game, Evan won one, and our hour came to an end, half way through the third game. We stayed for another hour though and played Ping-pong. Not sure of how many games we played, but all of them were within two or three points of each other.
After going back home, we decided to play some DDR(dance dance revolution) just to tire ourselves out even more. After that and watching some more close games in the Olympics, we decided to continue our own Olympics by bowling. I hadn’t played bowling for a decade and Evan was really good, so I knew that this wouldn’t be so close, but to my amazement, I did alright and Evan had a bad game. I got 90 on my first game in a decade and Evan got 78. He was disappointed with his score, but I think he gave it to me. After that, Ryan showed up, so we played another game with him. He’s very good too, but I guess he needed warming up too cause he got 93. The second game I got 98 and Evan settled into his groove and got a 120 something.
Being late and to end the day with a bang, we all went to Wal-Mart and had a great idea. Ryan knew that Roman Noodles were only 17 cents, so we searched the whole store for anything that was cheaper than 17 cents, anything . . . After much deliberation and searching, we found a folder that was only 10 cents, so of course Evan bought it. Now a private joke and contest, we must try to find something cheaper than ten cents at Wal-Mart now. The cashier had a funny look on her face when Evan checked out and I made it worse getting into a conversation with her about if Wal-Mart had anything cheaper than 10 cents. She didn’t know but thought it was an “interesting question”.
To end the day, we watched Michael Phelps get his 8th medal and setting the world record, then fell asleep, waking up the next morning very sore. Swimming, playing volleyball, eating at the gator pit, and watching the Spinners win their baseball match took up the next day besides church and marked this weekend as one of the funnest I’ve had in a long time.
Wow, it was great. Hope to do it soon.
