AMF Bowling













We arrived at the entrance to the bowling place where my dad dropped us off. When we entered the AMF,  It was filled with laughter and the sound of bowling balls dropping as people let go of them and that made contact with the pins at the end of the lanes.  Added to this there was also the sound from  arcade games going off.

The first thing we did was go to the counter to pay and get our bowling shoes on. Once we got our shoes, we headed towards  lane 19.  Our names started to pop up on the t.v sized screen above us. It was a nice surprise to find that Natalia ( a class mate from last year) Brielle her little sister  and her two older brothers were playing next to us. Then Max and I went back to get the bowling balls. We all had a turn and Max was in lead followed by my sister me Alerton or as the screen had spelt it as Alerston and Mana. A few minutes later we started to get a little hungry so my older sister went and order some chips for after the game. Time went by and we were all up to our  9th row. Somehow I came to be first in the lead and max behind me. “Come on guys” my sister shouted as she called us to the table at the back to come some eat chips. Alerton and I went back to playing the game for all three.

I was up first playing as “Amelia” as the ball rolled down I was hoping that it wouldn't strike 10 pins aaaaaaaand “YES” as I shouted for joy. On the last game I played as myself and struck out 10 pins making me have 100 points on top of everyone. Then after bowling we went back and changed our shoes. As we talk for sometime my sister talked to us about doing this every second week but different places. Then after returning our shoes we  walked to burger king because max was craving their ice cream sundae. When we were inside burger king we order all the same sundae’s except for Max, of course who only order the large black forest sundae. We ate our sundaes and talked more about where to go to next while we talked my sister started to call my dad to come and pick us up. Time went by and our dad still wasn't here so we went and sat outside and waited, a few seconds later our dad arrived.

As we drove back to our uncle’s house my sister and dad started to talk about their favorite uncle “Ronald” who always came over to our house to sleepover. Once we got to their house we said our goodbye’s and told them we would see them in 2 weeks time. After dropping off our nephew’s we headed into town because our mum was finishing work soon.
“Beep”
“Beep”
As the cars went by we were stuck in traffic for quite sometime because roadworks were happening up ahead. We finally arrived at the waterfront Amelia,Mana and I got out of the car to go to the slides while our dad went and payed for the parking. After going on the slide went across the street  because my sister wanted to go sit next to the water. As we waited we walked around the streets exploring and taking pictures a few minutes later our mum came out looking for us. We all got back into the car and went back home.
