bowling

today we finally used our bowling passes from kidsbowlfree.com. the boys each get 2 free games per day during the summer. all you have to pay for is shoes!

before we left spencer and colby decided that we should use fake names when we bowled. i was spongebob, spencer was patrick and colby was gary. {for those of you non-spongebob fans, patrick is spongebob's best friend, and gary is spongebob's pet snail.} our bowling passes, however, have our real names on them. so when i went to pay when we were finished, the girl at the counter asked which lane we were on. when i said 30, she had a strange look on her face she kept looking back and forth between her computer and our passes. finally she asked, "who are spongebob, patrick and gary?" i laughed and told her we'd used fake names. the other guy at the counter just laughed at her, too! [sorry for the confusion.]

the best part of bowling was we picked just the right time to go. every wednesday at 2:00 it's glow-bowling! we didn't know that, and we were in the middle of our game when suddenly the lights went off, the disco lights started flashing and music started playing! it was awesome! it's so much more fun to bowl with black lights and 80's music! there was even a boomerang pattern on the floor that only showed up during glow-bowling!

Glow bowling looks super fun! I bet the boys loved it! I bet they really bug you to go once a week now. Glad you had a great day!
