The Bowling Princesses

This weekend my in laws came to visit. My sister in law Kara and her boyfriend Joe were also in town too. We had a nice weekend of playing games, just hanging out and we also went bowling. On Saturday afternoon we decided to go down to Bricktown to try the RED PIN bowling alley. It was a fun atmosphere being right on the canal. Of course that is the most expensive bowling I have ever done in my life. It was $45 freakin dollars to rent a lane for an hour. That was just the before 5pm price. After 5pm it jumps to $55 an hour. Everyone knows how much I LOVE to bowl, however still too pricey. I had a great time anyway probably because I beat everyone except for Chris.


There were some really cool features though. First of all our shoes were included in the price. (not a huge difference but still). You get seated directly to your lane with comfortable couch seating and not those hard plastic chairs. Our server guy (yes, they serve real food too that you are actually allowed to eat at your lane) took our names and shoe sizes just like he was taking our order. He put our names in for us and brought us our shoes on a serving platter like he was serving us drinks. When it was the kids turn to bowl the bumpers automatically came up. Caleb found a way to roll the ball directly at the bumpers and have the ball zig zag back and forth and hit the pins in the perfect spot and he got a few strikes. Another cool feature is that it tells you how fast your ball went down the lane. Mine wasn't very fast, usually only 10-11 mph. (I tend to go for accuracy over power.) However some of the guys got it close to 20 mph. Poor Caden's ball only went about 2 mph and occasionally it would time out before her ball made it down there and it wouldn't count her score. So several times we had to get the guy to adjust her score.


While we were there a group of about 16 teenagers came in dressed in prom dresses and tuxedos. PROM BOWLING, why didn't I think of that when I was in high school. That would have been so cool. Caden was in awe!!! She spotted a girl in a long yellow/gold colored dress and she said "is that a princess?" She thought she looked just like Belle. It was SO CUTE!! They were in the lanes next to us so she went over there and asked her if she was a princess. She was mesmerized by them. She kept going back over to them to talk to them or just to stare at them. She is not accustomed to seeing regular people in fancy dresses. They thought she was cute so they were talking to her too. I didn't get a picture of her with the Belle look alike, but here is another girl that she kept talking to.
