Bowling!

When did bowling get so expensive? It's crazy! We went a few weeks ago as a family. Holly had gone earlier this year on a school field trip and kept talking about it so we went. Thankfully I was able to do a mystery shop at the same time which paid for half of the fun. If we paid for it all ourselves it would have been $80 for 2 games each and shoes--holy moly! We had a great time and played with the bumpers for the kids--Chad and I took all the help we could get too :) I hate to admit it but Holly actually beat me in the second game! This will be a rare outing for the Crowes but it was sure fun!

$80 bucks! holy cow. I was thinking about taking the kids sometime soon but, wow! So whats this Mystery Shop you did?

Looks like fun. I have been wanting to take the kids bowling but now I think I'll pass. They can just bowl with the Wii. I remember how much fun Holly had playing the bowling game at Moms. She was pretty good.

How fun! I love bowling...but I know it all of a sudden got SOOO expensive. We went on a family reunion and how come Jeff got nominated to pay for EVERYONE....not a nice bill!! So I have tried different sites to mystery shop but never found something that really worked. I would love to know what you do and how you got it. Do you think they need someone everywhere or is it usually in tourist spots??

Sarah--what's your email address? I'll send you some info. There's not much work where I live now and I don't do it much anymore. I think where you live it would be better.

You guys look great!
Did Hilton Head just get a lot more expensive?? We bowl here for all six of us for around 30! But now we have to drive an hour to the beach, bummer! I've looked for mystery shop sites but they all cost, does yours?

You should never pay to do mystery shopping. If they charge you up front--it's usually a scam.

This is a good website for companies to work for: http://www.volition.com/mystery.html

Norma: I'll email you :)
