Our little family went to Alley Cats for bowling and games tonight. After Mommy bowled about three frames, Van asked if he could bowl for me (I was eating my salad and he thought that would be the kind thing to do!). After asking to bowl for me for a couple of frames…he just quick asking and took over for me!! We had a GREAT time!! After bowling, it was over to the games. We bought 2 cards with $10 each on them…just enough to play a few games, but not enough that we would be there all night!! After a few games, I was thinking “Maybe we can get out of here without exchanging the tickets for any candy…or not exchanging them at all.” Just as I was thinking this, I used Max’s card for some silly balloon popping game. Just as I swiped the card, Max hit the play button. Needless to say…Max won the grand prize and out popped 2000….yes, I said 2000 tickets!!!! Max could have cared less about the tickets, he just wanted to move on to play another game. However, the pre-teen boys kept following me around asking if I needed help!!! After all the tickets were counted, we headed to exchange them thinking that they could get something really big with 2224 tickets. Instead my kids just wanted candy. They did end up with a few bigger toys…but mostly candy!!!
