Bowling is so much fun, especially when it’s free! Sep 16
I love taking my kids bowling when the heat is up outside. During the weekdays the lanes are pretty empty, the cold air is blowing, and you can get a killer deal on a few games. Here is what brought us out to Galaxy Lanes last month: 2 free games, free shoe rental, free hotdog, and free fountain drink — FOR REAL!! We didn’t even need a coupon, this was definitely a having your cake and eating it too kinda deal. – Oh and it was cosmo bowl, hence the black light.
Addison was getting ready to kick his ball down the lane with those adorable bowling shoes!
CAUTION** One bowling game with kids ages 10 and under can take up to 3 hours! We sit at the bowling alley on an average for two and a half hours for one 10 frame game – seriously! During the summer we get free bowling, so if we don’t get to finish our two and a half hour game we don’t feel to bad!
Annakate prefers the pink ball, but the orange sherbet ball is lighter and doesn’t stop rolling halfway down the lane…
I totally suck at bowling, I have literally scored 40 – yes that was a full game! I sit and watch the kids, chase the kids, help Addison and Annakate with the ball ramp, find whoever has wandered away from the lane and into the snack area or arcade again, call the front desk to get our ball out of the middle of the lane, encourage the kids to bowl already, oh yeah, and potty breaks. I stay pretty busy at the bowling alley.
Alaina and Abbi are pretty good bowlers, they even have their own bowling shoes (I also shop the clearance – bowling shoes for $10, yeah, I can do that)!
Finally the end is near, we are all encouraging each other not to leave the area and to just keep bowling. Since we have bumpers up the scores are usually pretty even.
High five aaannnnndddd….we’re done!
