Monday Night Melt Down

So Monday night bowling was... well it was stressful! It was also fun. JPs sister Jennifer is in town so she came and bowled for Jamie. So it was JP, me, John, Jennifer, Alex and Lily. We bowled against my in-laws team. They showed up a little late but we finally got things going. When we finally did start bowling the lanes started acting weird and would re-set themselves. It was VERY frustrating. One time we waited about fifteen minutes before we could bowl again. We finished our first game when everyone else was halfway through their second game. We moved lanes after our first game to some non voodooed lanes. We were about halfway through our second game when everyone else finished. Our last game, since no one else was at the bowling alley, we bowled on different lanes then my in-laws so we could finish faster. Otherwise we would have been there forever. Right about when everyone else was finishing, the two kids started melting down. We had some tears and some screaming. Nate took Lily home and Alex passed out on the bench. My scores were 154, 114 and 77. I just gave up the last game and wanted to go home. If I had been under the age of 5 I too would have started crying and fallen asleep! Happy Bowling everyone! And here's hoping your lanes don't break down too!

I probably should have kept Alex home, but he'd been stuck inside all week because of being sick and he was SO EXCITED to see Lily.

What we've learned during this bowling leauge experience is that evening bowling is just not for kids.
