On the base they have a bowling alley and a movie theater. We decided to hit up the bowling alley a couple Saturday's ago. We went in at lunch time and got some burgers, which were pretty decent considering they were bowling food fare. We were the only ones in there and after we ate lunch we laced up our shoes and got our bowling on!
The girls loved wearing their special shoes, the smallest size they have for kids is 9 which is two sizes too big for Bianca but she still rocked them anyway. Plus the guy brought us some extra curly fries for free during our game. We left there feeling very stuffed.
At first we did no bumpers or anything just to see how the kids did.....
Bianca got hers off okay until about halfway down where it stopped and kinda rolled back again. After the attendant retrieved the ball we added the bumpers and the metal frame thingy to our game.
You just set the ball on top of the frame and push it down. Olivia ended up getting one strike, lucky girl!
Bianca was a little robust about putting her ball on and Marcus and I were on pins and needles every time that she went that her ball would just get thrown on the floor. She was so concerned about doing it herself that she would run up with the sucker and lob it onto the frame before anyone could help her. After we assured her repeatedly that she would be able to do it all by herself she would finally do it a little more carefully!
Momma bowling. I did okay, considering I haven't bowled in over a year. I got a couple of strikes which was pretty exciting.
Daddy bowling. I can't remember the actual finishing score but I am pretty sure Marcus wholloped us all. We had so much fun, cheering on everyone during their turn. Plus being the only ones there took the pressure off of looking ridiculous.
The girls would patiently wait for their hot pink balls to roll up.
This was Bianca with the bumpers, but rebelling about having to use the frame.
And she actually hit some! We had so much fun, it was pretty cheap and the girls keep asking if we can go again! The only weird thing was on the screen whenever you did good it would show random sports people while saying great job on your strike or whatever. So like there was a sprinter crossing the finish line, or a swimming barreling through the water, or a guy soaring over a high jump, or a guy dunking a basket. It just didn't really fit with the whole bowling stuff so it would make us laugh.
