Kids with time on their hands

Thursday, July 29, 2010 by Terri Powell

When parents cannot find affordable entertainment for their children, it leaves them with the question "now what?".

I have worried about my children having too much time on their hands. It occurred to me that I should purchase gift cards that I could reload for local activities. My first thought of course was bowling. After all I am a bowler who works in the business too. Then it hit me, why not bowling? A few kids bowling a couple of games sure would use up time.  That would mean less time for them to drive around just looking for trouble.  Well, maybe not looking but falling into.  I looked at the price of movies.. WOW..  I could not afford to send my son and a couple of his friends to the show at $10.00 per person.  So back to the bowling idea I went.  I could purchase a gift card, they could use that to play Pirates Cove Miniature Golf, Extreme Laser Tag or go bowling at Woodland Bowling Center Indianapolis. 

So...  it became my treat for him and a couple of his friends to enjoy.  Helping to solve the problem of too much time and the dreaded words "I'm bored".
