February 21st 2015 - Bowling
Today is Blake's girlfriend Rosie's 6th birthday. She wanted to go
bowling, so her Mum agreed. We had said about going bowling during half term and had invited her to come as well, so we all decided that we would go today for her birthday rather than twice.
The bowling alley is is the "big town" 13miles away, so we got go in the car to get there. I'm sure the boys and Rosie will all have fun. I will update with scores later after we have been.
OMG it went from bad to worse, to start with the car was dead, we got the neighbour to try and jump start it but it wasn't have any of it. So hubby had to bring battery in to try and charge it and the neighbour ran me and the kids to the bowling alley. We got there 2mins after our scheduled time, but the previous people were not quite finished anyway. We payed for 1 game each.
The scores were really close between the kids and all around the 50mark. They decided that they wanted a 2nd game, so we had to move to another lane. And this lane was a heap of junk, after every 3rd or 4th throw of the ball the pins wouldn't re-set, or the machine dropped them and they stayed there in a heap. So we had to keep getting the staff to re-set the lane, which they did by throwing another ball down it and then re-setting the computer to remove the score it had given that person. Due to this the kids got very bored with waiting and started to mess about and fight, climb on things and over chairs etc.
The scores of the 2nd game were higher and lil man got 74 and 2spares he was so happy. But the machine didn't record 1 of them as it was a time it re-set again. The other 2 who are older got 57 and 58 but they didn't use the frame. Rosie won the first game out of the children and Blake won the 2nd game out of the chilren.
