Bowling for Doll Hairs

We hadn’t been to the bowling alley in months, and for whatever reason it came up at supper time, so we decided to go bowling. Not a bad activity when the weather gets cold and miserable. I didn’t bowl much growing up, it wasn’t really cool, and there were certain unsavory elements associated with the bowling alley. Even the local bowling alley that we go to has a certain edge to it.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t fun, however, and the kids love it. We bowled two games and had a blast. The kids did well, though we were all a little rusty. Both of them got strikes, and afterward we hit the arcade. We avoid video games but I let them do skee-ball and stuff like that. They give you tickets based on how many points you score, and you can redeem these tix for toys. Both A and N hit some sort of jackpot and scored big time. I think N got about 500 tickets on one, and A got about 250. They kept coming out, it was amazing, and dare I say, a little exciting.

We got a couple of “Made in China” toys and we were off. It was fun bowling again, and we’ll probably do it again before the season is up.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Sachin Ghodke for the pic.
