Embrun usually has some great family day activities going on. We headed over to the hockey arena to go do some bowling. The information said that bowling started at 11am so we arrived around 10:45 to get a spot. Turns out that they had been open since 10am where you could sign up on the waitlist. Oh man! When we put our names on the list they figured it would be sometime in the afternoon before we got a game.
While we waited we went up stairs to see Junkyard Symphony. We didn’t end up getting any free popcorn. Maybe they only make it once an hour and we missed out.
But Junkyard Symphony was great! The lead singer said they had been around for 32 years. Their thing is that they have drum sets and robots and other instruments on stage all made out recycled items (think buckets for drums, etc.).
They were great at interacting with the crowd and they were quite hilarious. I would see this group again if I had the chance.
They had started at 11am and around 11:45 we got the call that bowling had a spot for us! So we left the show early and got our shoes and…hit the lanes? What’s the term for bowling?
Ezra says bowling is his favourite sport. Who doesn’t love bowling? I’ll tell you who doesn’t like it…the three of us when we got a bunch of gutter balls!
Ezra pointing out that he had the lead!
I had to post the final score just for historical purposes, not bragging rights.
It’s super nice of Embrun to organize free family friendly activities for the community. Always fun to drop by there and then stop over to A&W for some lunch afterwards.
