Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

A Night At The Bowling Alley

January 8, 2011

When I received the email from my husband this week about a bowling special at a local alley I perked up. Alot. They’re running a special that goes like this: families of any size can bowl as much as they want for only $10 shoe rental included on Friday nights. Now, for our family of 10 that is only $1 a person and an absolute no-brainer. Of course we’re going to take advantage of that!! Besides, the twins haven’t been bowling ever in their lives so it was TIME.

We played two games which was plenty long (almost too long) for Becky and Katie. Steve ended up winning the second game on his side with a score of 135. Maggie had a score of 71 her first game and 91 the second game – she’d improved! Okay, so she was on the bumper lane, but she still threw a few balls which did not touch the bumpers. Becky has tapped her inner bowler playing on the Wii so she was a natural at this. Katie really was at a loss as to what to do, but she had a good time anyway. Mike, the big bowler of the family, did well considering he hasn’t been on a team for a little while and Matt tried to recapture his bowling expertise of earlier years before college. Me? I just had fun helping the little kids and throwing a couple of balls down the lanes when it was my turn. I think we were the loudest family there because we cheered (and sometimes jeered) all the bowlers in our family. It was truly a family night out and we can’t wait for next Friday!!

Is Steve making a funny face there?
