When we had gone into Kingston last week, Emily had noticed a bowling alley so we thought we would check it out. Online, I discovered that the bowling alley was having a summer special – 2 games and a sandwich/fries for the cost of less than 1 game at regular prices, so we signed up and took the bus to the bowling alley that afternoon. The girls won both rounds – it was their combined score versus mine. Then we had our hamburgers and they played a little in the arcade. In comparison to the AMF’s back home, this place was opulent. Because we were there before the schools got out, the alley was relatively empty. We got to bowl in the newer lanes, that you didn’t need bowling shoes for! The lanes had a kind of tiling right up to the part where you rolled the ball thus allowing you to wear your own sneakers. And the bowling balls seemed lighter. I was prepping the girls that there may not be bumpers but there were as well as the ramps you can roll the ball down. They even had bowling balls that had handles instead of holes for your fingers. I think we all tried them but didn’t like them as the handle snapped and got our fingers.
After bowling, the girls went on a simulator ride right there in the bowling alley. While it did not go upside down, they both loved it – there were two seats so they both went together. Then they played a game of air hockey. Ainsley kept scoring against herself which both girls found quite hysterical. Then Ainsley won at the car racing arcade game and Emily tried one of those “Claw” games where you get candy. Unfortunately it was broken and ate our money so instead of refunding us the coin, the guy let each girl choose 3 pieces of candy which the girls were very excited for because it was “British Candy.”
Then it was a quick trip to the grocery store and home for dinner and bed.
