The kids were amateurs at the same playing level, so they really cheered each other on and were within a few scores of one another. And yes, the gutters were up to keep the balls moving and pins knocking down.
This bowling alley is huge. Because it was in the middle of the afternoon on a traditional school day, and work day, the place was empty enough for us to do a walk-up reservation of the party alley room. They had fun disco lights moving at all times, the music was loud, and we got to select Cartoons to be added to the big screen television in each of our lanes. Super cool.
When the bowling was complete, we continued the party in the lounge area with gifts and cake. The boys were tired by then, but we made sure to pump them up with enough sugar to keep them going until their parents came to retrieve them.
(My daughter's BFF joined us too and they played on their own lane - lucky that their two brothers are good friends too).
I am very grateful that both of my children have selected wonderful friends to hang out with. A group of 9/10 year old boys could have been a handful, but they were so easy and a pleasure to have hang out together. I could just squeeze them all with a giant group hug - but that would totally be so uncool. So a big high five to my boy's friends. They are a great bunch!
My son was all smiles on the way home and can't stop talking about the fun he had with FRIENDS!

A great way for a 10 year old boy to celebrate his birthday. You lucked out that there was no school today.
