Free Bowling

My fabulous friend Melissa turned me onto this. At first I thought it was a scam. That it had to be too good to be true. But, it turns out that it is really and truly fun! If you go to this website, depending on where you live, there may be a bowling alley near you that offers free bowling. You get 2 games every day of the summer (from the end of May to the beginning of Sept). Shoes aren't included. I looked into buying some, but I felt foolish spending $40 for shoes they would only wear for 3 months. So, I made some. I bought some of the cheapo canvas shoes at wallyworld, glued felt on the front half, and voila! Bowling shoes for $7. BTW, I didn't ask if this was ok. I just assumed it was. But, now it really is bowling for free!

For a nominal fee (less than $30) you can purchase 2 games for 2 adults every day also. Since hubby and I enjoy bowling (and also own our own bowling shoes from prior military days when hubby couldn't leave base so we would play $1 bowling games for our hour together) it is a good deal. Granted we are not going every day. But, at $5/game/person, we only needed to bowl 3 games each to pay it off, and we have done that already.

Anyway, so.... Tuesday night is bowling night at our house. The girls think it is pretty fun.

Loving the form here. Check out the calf muscles.

Daddy missed "helping" Kaitlyn push this one down the alley. Good thing we can be patient.
He got better at stepping in :)

Miss Independent. However, she is still doing a decent job.

But, it got tiring, so we tried a different way.

Different day (ironically same pants for Kari). And yes, Kaitlyn dressed herself. However, note the bowling shoes. And, Kaitlyn decided Kari would help her. Again, its a good thing we are in no hurry.

Such good helpers.

Here's the wind up. And the swing! Sometimes I wonder if they have shock absorption under them... For all the people who literally throw the ball (like Kari).

Then we found one of these things.

And it all went down hill from there.

Down hill.... Get it? I crack myself up :)
