There is a program during the summer that has become quite popular called “Kids Bowl Free”. It is a pretty good deal, with the caveat that you still have to pay for shoe rentals, which cost $4 at Irvine Lanes, where we went.
This was the first time either k or n had gone bowling. I cannot remember the last time I was in a bowling alley. There were bumpers that could be programmed to go up or down depending on the player’s skill. There was also a metal contraption that little kids could use to push the bowl down the lane. Both k and n felt most comfortable with the six pound ball, which was the lightest we could find.
The kids were allowed to bowl two games each. Considering how long each game lasted, this was more than enough!
This was the scoreboard from the first game. (n had a lot of help from D). k improved and won the second game. Neither one seemed to really care about the score, though. It was more about the experience.
