Take the Children Bowling

elfsOmaha and I took the kids to the bowling alley this morning, to have a family outing. After a quick breakfast in our freshly cleaned kitchen (Omaha joked that yesterday "The Cleaning Elf" visited-- funny, I don't feel depressed, and that's usually when I have an impulse to do a massive cleaning), we drove out to the bowling alley.
I noticed that the rules on the door had changed. Two things were noticable: first, the rule banning "do-rags" had been removed. Second, the rule stating that the entire place was "adults only" after 10:00pm had been removed. I guess that in these hard times, trying to exclude anyone from the premises was a really bad idea.
Anyway, we played two games, and I managed to break 100 on the second round, which is far short of my all-time high of 217, back when I was in a college league. Kouryou-chan bowed out of the second game to go play in the arcade, which turned out not to be all that much fun without the rest of the family along. We're thinking of discouraging Yamaraashi-chan from using the automatic bumpers next time, since she's almost good enough to bowl without them.
