Our family has gone bowling several times over the years. Two of my sons have had birthday parties at our local alley. That's where Samuel had his eighth birthday party, and spent much of it fighting to get into the arcade room.
We were newly inspired to go bowling as a family again recently by our youngest son, who is currently the family bowling champion on Wii. So this past Sunday we trekked over to the lanes. Samuel and his younger siblings had rails up so their balls would stay out of the gutter. My youngest son got the best score of anyone, thanks to the rails. We were all surprised at how poorly we did compared to our results on Wii, especially my oldest son.
I was so happy that we were able to convince all the kids to stick with the game, even my 3 year old. That was no easy feat, considering that six of us were in the game! Samuel was especially impressive. He stayed with us the entire time, no running away and no attempting to escape to the game room! We gave them a moment to take a look after the arcade afterwards.
There is talk of us going again. I hope we will, it was lots of fun and we could all use a bit of work on our skills; not a one of us scored over 100!

That's awesome! My son has gone bowling where it is adaptive (special ramp) on school field trips several times and loves it! I wish we had lanes near us that were able to be adapted.
We love to bowl as a family, and we are always shocked at how good our Wii score is because we know most of us can't bowl at all!
