Cosmic Bowling!

We went Cosmic Bowling for our neighbor Jason's 40th birthday party on Friday night. It was a blast! For those of you who haven't frequented a bowling alley lately (and by the way, they're smoke-free now!), Cosmic Bowling is when the lights are low, lasers abound and everything glows (black lights). Oh, yeah! Plus, you groove to 80's tunes and do the Cha-Cha Slide. We had pizza and beer before the bowling gig and the pitchers were flowing throughout, so you can imagine how well we were all bowling! Jeff was on fire.....hitting strike after strike. I got one strike and a few spares, but managed to keep my score in the top three (and that's sayin' a lot, because I once bowled a 37. Yes, a 37!) The take away from the night? Bowling is FUN! And bumpers are for big kids too............

I wrote this post yesterday but must have walked away from the computer as the photos were downloading.......anyway, yesterday we had a dual birthday party for Harrison and Arlie at the local bowling alley. This was "cosmic bowling" which is when they turn the lights off, turn black lights on, everyone wears white so they "glow", employ laser lights, disco balls and a "steam" machine, thereby giving the bowling alley a hazy, groovy ambience. Music is played (mostly early 80's - Hayley couldn't believe I knew the words to "Walk the Dinosaur"), and everyone joins in the "cha-cha slide" dance, thus earning a coupon for a free game of bowling. Pizza, unlimited pop and birthday cake rounded out the event and a good time was had by all! Here are some photos of the day.
