Duckpin Bowling at Doc Brundy’s

Activities

I was excited for our February activity and upon approaching Doc Brundy’s, it was nice to see two Model A’s were parked in front, Howard’s Coupe and Rogers Mail Truck. Just like the involuntary breathing that I don’t have to think about, an involuntary smile came across my face. Somehow, no matter how many times I see the Model A’s, even when they are the same ones I’ve seen over and over again, a smile still can be found on my face. Greeted by familiar faces, we entered Doc Brundy’s. I’ve noticed that the menu has now changed a 3rd time. Now you can have a burger, a burger with cheese, a burger with bacon, or a burger with bacon on bacon. Good thing I wanted a burger! I will have to say the burgers were definitely a mouth full and Gavin sure loved the fries that came with them. It was wonderful to see such a large group of friends I knew, and a few new soon to be friends such as the Ellsworth family and the Bush Family. We had so many people come, that the 8 spots on our lane had to double the couples up.

If you’re extremely confident in your bowling game, I encourage you to try duckpin bowling. In college Greg and I took a bowling class where we were taught of some of the tricks and secrets to being a successful bowler. I can honestly say that any bowling skills Greg and I had learned, we had to just throw them out the window. Duckpin bowling is a completely different game, with smaller balls and pins. While it had a few disadvantages it actually made for an even playing field for those that were extremely competitive. Gavin had so much fun, that he was always upset unless it was his turn to play. Thanks to all those on our lane that were patient enough to watch Gavin’s ball finally hit the pins after a 15 min delay.

While duckpins were falling, our burgers were being delivered to tables, and hungry tummies were being filled with good food. Laughter, and cheering from our group filled and echoed through the old building that once sold the very cars we arrived in. For questions or more information on that ask Roger Davis for more details.  After a group picture it was time to say goodbye to our good friends, some lingered to continue visiting. I took a few minutes with Jason Beadle as he told me about his tudor. I was very impressed with the condition of the body, and the engine. For what he paid, I think he got a great car! Gavin was over due for his nap that he wasn’t afraid to remind me about, so we headed home. Thank you once again for a great activity!
