The Annual Bowl for the Cure was held on Thursday for Mommy's work, and it's always a fun event to raise money for Komen. We went to a new place this year; the just opened Pinstack in north Plano. They had great food, lovely bowling lanes, and a great arcade/gaming area. Since they are pretty new, they gave each bowler a play card good for 2 hours of gaming in the arcade area. When the bowling and fundraising was done, Mommy picked the boys up from school early and took them for 2 hours of fun in the afternoon at Pinstack. They were so surprised, and we had so much fun!!! We were the only ones in the arcade and had every game to ourselves!! They loved skiing down the mountain and really got the side-to-side action. They were taking it seriously!
A transformers game with shooting had them concentrating super hard. They played this one a few extra times.
This one was a favorite that we came back to over and over. The boys drove in a motorcycle race, complete with super leaning to each side and squealing with delight!
We've been to lots of places like this: Dave and Busters, Adventure Landing, Chuck E Cheese, etc. This is the first time a worker was seen actually cleaning the games. This sweet guy covered every inch of every game with his cleaning spray and towel. At first he just wiped the joysticks/shooters/seats, then he climbed up to clean the tops of the machines too. He needed a tip!!! (Oh, he has on a harness because he was supposed to man the rock wall, but no one was there to climb.)
They raced some cars and got super serious again!
This one was too fun! They were laid back with wind blowing on them and their seats shaking as they went on an airplane adventure. We repeated this one too!
The Komen group was all gone by the time the boys were picked up and we went back to play, but another corporate group was having an event. An attendee wandered over and asked if we wanted his play card. It had more tickets, and the boys had so much fun playing Skee Ball over and over. (Beau is seriously bad at Skee Ball!!!) We won a few tickets and finished up our spontaneous afternoon of fun.
Several generous Komen friends gave us their 2 hour gift cards, so we'll be back for sure. This place was so fun, and we had it all to ourselves. Can't wait to go back!
