League nights are of course the bread and butter of the few bowling alleys in Maine. They are also, however, not family friendly. As it would turn out, Andrew requested bowling with the family for his birthday celebration, and his birthday happened to fall on league night. How incredibly annoying it is to show up to bowl with 4 excited boys to find that all of the lanes are occupied by serious bowlers. Fortunately, the personnel were very helpful and held the only lane that wasn't reserved for the league for us to use once it was vacated. In the meantime we enjoyed a very pleasing dinner and tried not to get too distracted by the great multitude of people around us.
After dinner, we were able to kick off our shoes and get down to bowling. As long as we didn't use flash photography, roll down the ramps, or distract the serious bowlers all around us we could stay all night.
