BoOnDoCkS

After the Sun Valley trip we headed down to Utah to have a day at Lagoon- unfortunately after being blessed with gorgeous weather for a week it stormed all morning.  We debated about whether to just go to Lagoon in the rain, go for 1/2 day or skip it all together.  The consensus ended up being to forgo it because we didn't feel like we would have enough time to really enjoy everything we wanted to.  Mom and dad were gracious enough to bring us to Boondock's for some AWESOME fun!  I think we'll definately go again!!!


We all got passes that allowed us to ride the bumper boats, go-karts, mini-golf and laser tag all we wanted and we also each had $5.00 worth of tokens on our card for games.  Here's how the "BIG KIDS" played!!!

BUMPER BOATS:




GO-KARTS:




friendly competition!!!






Mini-Golf:


GAMES:


Young and old had fun playing with the games at the arcade!!!






We had some yummy pizza and then went back for some more fun (aka Laser tag!)  I wish that we had gotten pictures of us all geared up in our outfits!  Brady went "missing" for a little while and everyone thought that he was playing in the children's ball pit area- come to find out he went into laser tag all by himself!!!  When he showed up again he started telling me all about this awesome game he played "shooting" people in costumes!  I said, "Did you go play laser tag?!"  {shocked of course!} and he was like, "YEAH MOM!  IT WAS TOTALLY ASWESOME!!!!"

I couldn't believe that #1 they would just let a five year old walk in and play with no questions about who he was with and #2 that he would just walk over there, get into line, gear up and play like he was a pro!!!

Because he'd already been initiated we let him play with us two more times!  It was SO MUCH fun and such an adrenaline rush!!!!

This pic was takem at 11:00 p.m.- we decided to call it quits
{actually they were literally closing the doors!!!}

Do you think he was amped up enough???  Nah!  How about some more sugar!

Skating.

I grew up iceskating in neighborhood and family ponds.  Winter to me as a child meant ice skating, sledding, wet mittens, hot chocolate, snow men and warm fires.  I've been wanting to skate at th Sun Valley Lodge rink for years now and was really excited to be able to go skating with Brady and teach him something that I loved so much as a child!  I hope to carry on the tradition of skating in the winter with our kids!

Here's Brady getting his start!


   

   
He was very nervous at first (and I was very rusty!)  but once he got the feel for it he wanted to venture out on his own and he had a great time (and I remember what a work-out it is!)



Chelsae and mom also went skating and we had a fun time!



   


Next year for you Olivia (and we'll get Daddy too!!!)

Sun Valley Club. Living. The. Life!

We tried to get a nice family picture but it wasn't the right time of day.  (Hence, all of the dark shadows)
Next time we get together we'll definately have to have a nicer picture taken!


The Sun Valley Club is GoRgEoUs!!!!




  

      


These are the bathroom!!!





Delectable eats: 
Lettuce wraps (THE BEST!!!) Kobe beef burgers and blue cheese and walnut salad!!!


Chels and Liv by the crackling warm fire


Then it was time for the guys to head out to the course! 

1 basket of golf balls $8.00
Time teaching your son the art of the driving range = PRICELESS!!




And some of us got in a few winks too!!!
