  • Where’s My Water: If you were too “frugal” to download the full $0.99 version like me, now is your chance.  It’s the first time ever this app has gone free so go help Swampy guide the water to his shower.

Unplugged

AMF Summer UnPlugged - Free bowling for kids all summer long!

Unplugged and I’m not referring to a cool acoustic concert.  It’s AMF’s free summer bowling program where your kids can bowl for free.  Just register them here and your kids can bowl two games a day for free.  Shoe rentals are not included.  Too bad AMF can’t throw in some free acoustic concerts while we’re watching our kids bowl.  See you at the bowling alley!
