Little Boy Bowls His First Spare & Absolutely Loses His Mind.

Enthusiasm in its rawest form is something you don’t get to see every day.

While Jonathan Bathe of Lynchburg, Virginia, was out bowling with his wife and two kids, he recorded 18 seconds of video on his phone that captured the sort of pure, unadulterated joy that only children can exhibit. Now, his video is going viral, and everyone is giggling over his little boy’s over-the-top, excited reaction.

Jonathan’s son Jackson was bowling, and he’d set himself up to take the last two pins out for a spare. As the little guy rolled the bowling ball down the lane, you could already tell that it looked good.

“I think you got it, buddy!” Jonathan can be heard calling as Jackson’s ball careens towards the last remaining pins.

Dad’s right and the pins come crashing down…

That’s when Jackson goes nuts!

That leap! He really gets some serious air! And this face:

Perhaps the best thing about this video is the soundtrack: “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey is playing at the bowling alley, which is just too perfect.

Jonathan shared the video on Twitter, where it quickly spread.

Soon ESPN shared the video, urging their worldwide audience to “Find someone that loves you like this kid loves spares.”

Check out the awesome moment when Jackson gets a spare below, and be sure to share.
