My friends and I wanted to go bowling. We got in the car and headed to the bowling alley. When we got there, we rented some bowling shoes. The worker sprayed the shoes to make them clean. We put on the shoes and went to our lane. We selected a ball based on the weight since some can be really heavy. Then we took turns throwing the balls and trying to knock the white pins over. Everyone tried to get a strike. Sometimes we missed the pins and the ball would roll into the gutter. Then we got hungry and had some chicken wings from the bowling alley's diner. The glow in the dark round came on and all the lights turned off and everything was glowing. Then, we returned the shoes. Then the music came on and it seemed like a party. Finally, we got sleepy and went home. 
Question: Who went with them?
