Hubby and I went on a date on Saturday and for the first time ever, we went bowling. We doubled with Hubby's brother, Wendel and his wife Lucy. They had all been bowling before but it was my first time ever.We went to a little place in Preston, ID called Poppin Pins, an older place but super clean and with superb service! The gentleman at the service desk was really nice providing me with different shoes to try. And even helping me find a bowling ball that wasn't too heavy. I ended up with an orange 8lbs ball. With shoes and ball picked out, I was ready for the challenge.
I was afraid that I would make a terrible date, but after rolling my first bowling ball, I felt great. They were all so supportive and enthusiastic. I really enjoyed it. Even putting shoes that didn't belong to me was a fun experience...fun colorful shoes. Since it was my first time, they put the sides up so that I didn't get gutter balls--they were trying to be so nice to me.
Overall, I got beginner's luck and I got second place overall! At one point, I even got two strikes in a row (when all the pins go down at once, I think it is called a strike, lol), I was feeling so great!! Of course, I also had bad rolls with the ball only dropping one pin, however, the company and the support from my hubby and BIL and SIL made it sure fun. I am already looking forward to my next time, this time around with the kiddos. I think Bryant and Nyah would really love going.
Bowling is fun, but I am the worst bowler. I am lucky if I get a score of 75. I have a mean curve, and the ball ends up in the gutter alot.
Huggz!

Definitely take your kidletts...they'll love it to pieces.
