Unfortunately, the kids had had a really busy and active day at school, hadn't eaten well at lunch, and therefore were very crabby and difficult to handle. The bumpers at the bowling alley had broken and they were awaiting an import, so even though they told us upfront, I opted to go anyway. I figured it would be fun, even if we didn't hit too many pins.
My bad.
Mostly we just heard whining and watched kids hold back their tears because they were last, they only had 11 points, they couldn't hit the pins, etc, etc.
Even with help, they were not happy.
And actually it was almost worse to help them, since if - God forbid! - we didn't hit a pin ourselves, we had to really hear it!
It did not make for very pleasant bowling but Andrés and I tried to make the most of it and see the humor in the situation. Maybe in a few days or weeks or years it will seem funnier.

That's always so hard when you try to do something fun and it turns out like that.
I am sure though the boys will take that memory as a fun one and will talk about it days later about how much fun it was.
aww bummer--and hey, at least you tried!
