Boondocks and the Parkin's

Today we decided to use our free passes to Boondocks.  We were given six three hours cards at Dan's work party last year.  We only had a pay for one of us to get in.  We have been lucky to go to Boondocks quite a few times for free.  Today we started by riding the cars.  Britton, Bryson, and Parker are all tall enough to drive their own car.  Abby is tall enough to ride with an adult so Dan took her and she loved it.  Brynlee and I just watched and cheered everyone on.  Then we played laser tag.  We had so much fun.  Bryson was so excited because he had a really high score.  Brynlee just ran around without a gun or vest.  And Abby was able to shoot quite a few people.  After laser tag Brynlee wanted to go bowling so we bowled in the kiddie bowling area.  The kids bowled two games each and all did pretty good but Parker got the high score for the kids.  After bowling we rode in the water bumper boats.  We all got really wet.  Abby rode with Dan and Brynlee rode with me.  The boys all rode separately.  Parker and Bryson were the least wet.  Some boy came up to Britton and said man you are a great shot and gave him a high five.  That made Britton's day.  Then we rode the cars again this time I took Abby and Dan stayed with Brynlee.  I had so much fun.  It was my first time to drove one of those cars.  Abby and I laughed and laughed.  Then we decided to play mini golf and Bryson got two hole in ones.  Abby did a good job golfing and Brynlee only lost one ball.  Everyones favorite hole was the last hole.  When you shot your ball in the hole it either shot fire out the top or water at you.  The fire scared Brynlee at little bit.  After golfing the kids were hot and wanted to get wet again so we decided to ride the bumper boats again.  Abby rode with me this time and Brynlee rode with Dan.  I got so wet.  I was soaked from the very top of my head to my feet.  Everyone was wet and cooled down from the heat.  The last thing we did was play in the Kiddie Cove and play a few tokens for the arcade.  The kids put all their tickets together and were able to get a few little prizes.  We all had a blast.
Then it was our turn to babysit for Matt and Amy so Ethan and Sarah came over.  We had dinner in the backyard and the kids played on the tramp and did little bit of soccer.  Dan and I cuddled on the hammock and watched the kids play.  We got the kids some glow braclets and they lit up while they jumped.  Then we came in and the boys played Indiana Jones on the Wii and the girls made cookies.  Then we melted crayons on the oven and made some new circle and finger crayons.  We had a lot of fun.  The melted crayons are really easy and the kids loved making them.  Today was a really fun day full of fun and excitement and hardly cost a thing.
