Family Day

After being gone for a week in Missouri, we decided that our family needed to do something fun together. Rachael picked BOONDOCKS! I left work a little early and we headed to Boondocks. We decided to do the "Whole" thing and started by having dinner there. We should have thought twice about that one, the foods wasn't all that exciting. We bought our passes

and let the fun begin. Off to the bumper boats. We agreed in advance to not spray each other and get all wet, so we just did the bumping thing.












The place was really quiet, so we got to play in the water as long as we wanted. Sometimes, the boat was hard to turn and get right where we wanted and we ended up going in circles and not being able to bump the other person.

Off to the slick track. Richard is the
fastest and bravest, he just floors
the gas pedal and goes, no matter
how fast Rachael and I were going
we just could not keep up.

GO SPEED RACER - GO







We headed up to play miniature golf next.
Richard is still the golfer in the family. He
beat Rachael and I on both courses

















I think the favorite thing that we did was the laser tag. By the time we had played 3 or 4 games we finally had it figured out and knew when to shoot and when we had been shot. We decided that the perfect number for teams would be about 5 or 6 any more than that it gets to crowded in the game room. A couple of games we had a little boy who once he found someone just followed you around the room trying to shoot you every time your vest reset. We were glad when he moved on to something else.
No trip to Boondooks is complete without spending some money in the different video games trying to get as many of the little yellow prize tickets as possible. We each had a share of the 87 tokens that we got. We played some games together and some games on our own. In the end Rachael got to redeem all of the tickets and get some great prizes from the prize wall.

What a fun time! I see that speed makes Richard Smile :) I thought about Rachael on Saturday, while we were in the woods. She will have to come and ride with us again.

Sounds like tons of fun! Hope you got some cool prizes. My friends and I like to go mini golfing. I usually do the worst but it is lots of fun!
