Kids Bowl Free
We are really enjoying our Kid's Bowl Free Coupons this summer. Have you heard of this? Kids under 15, i think, get 2 free games every day. You just have to pay for shoes. We also purchased the family pass for 20 something dollars so Daddy & I could play. One day we went it would have been $28 for the three of us but with the coupons we only paid for shoes... $6 total! We go at least once a week but went more while Daddy was layed off from Chrysler. It is really fun and the bumpers save our self esteems... giggle. You need to see if there is a bowling alley in your area that participates.
