Bowling: A sure-fire hit for family fun‏ ‏

Activity

My daughter was so upset when they tore down the bowling alley at the Park Royal Shopping centre in West Vancouver, she wrote a letter to the man in charge to tell him how wrong he was. Jen was five years old at the time. Kids love bowling: maybe it's the simplicity of the game or the thrill of getting a strike that excites them. I think too, it's an activity parents naturally enjoy without having to fake it. The whole family can have fun and enjoy each other's company without too much effort.
