Fun at Boondocks

Last night we went to Boondocks Fun Center for an evening of fun.  We ate pizza in the restaurant, played laser tag (Easton and I were on the red team and Grandpa and John were on the blue team), rode the go carts, and played miniature golf.  It was a fun way to spend the evening and the weather was beeeeeuuuuutttttiiiiiiifffffuuuulllll!!! (About dang time!!)  We loved the laser tag and Easton loved the go carts.  We talked Grandpa into rootbeer floats afterwards. BTW, Easton beat ALL the girls in ALL the races that he ran on the go carts. He was pretty proud!

Pizza, Tokens, and TONS of People!

A day spent at Chuck E. Cheese.......fuuuuunnnnn times! It was the last day of school here and super crowded with families celebrating the start of summer.  It took Easton waaaaay too long to spend his tokens.  You couldn't get me out of there fast enough.  It was craaaazzzzzyyyy!  Easton had a good time tho.  Dad met us for the pizza eating part!  All in all, it was a good way to spend some time---next time we'll think about the possibility of big things like the last day of school.

Don't Dally when You're Eating a Dilly!

Today Easton and I snuck off to DQ and had an ice cream.  Easton chose a dilly bar and I got just a plain ol' cone. (I am on Weight Watchers, ya know! I've had a hard time staying within my point limits since I have a lil partner in crime!) Anyway, he scarfed that puppy right down in no time flat! It was huuuuggge! We started saying, "Don't dally when you're eating a dilly".  Easton has it down goooooood!

A Day with Ancient Life........

Today we went to Lehi to the Ancient Life Museum to see the dinosaurs and other exhibits.  It was really fun.  We let John hang out with us too.  We saw a 3D movie about marine reptiles and lots of dinosaur exhibits.  They had a place where you could play in the sand and water and also a place where you could dig for dinosaur bones.  We had never been to this museum before but will definetely go back.  Easton's favorite part of the day was digging for dinosaur bones.  There were a thousand (not really that many) school kids on field trips but otherwise it was a super fun day.  PS. We went to Ikea on the way home--that was Grandma's favorite part of the day!!! ;)

Arrrrrgh! Ahoy Ye Mateys!

While in Georgia we went to dinner at the "Pirates House". What a fun place this was. It was a real historic place from the 1750's. No joke. The inside was really awesome with original ceiling beams and doorways. It reminded me of the belly of a ship with all the wood and the furnishings. They even had the most awesome old stove that I am still swooning over! I'd love to have one in my kitchen. When they took us to our table, they had lil' hats and all the trimmings for the kiddos to wear. Notice that even the biggest kiddos got in on the goods! They also had a male and a female pirate that wandered around during dinner. They kept harassing the kids. Paisley was not amused! She would rather be surrounded by a princess or two (who can blame the girl?!) but this was truly a piece of heaven for Easton and John. The pirates did magic tricks for us and gave the kids some gold coins (not the chocolate kind!). After a VERY delicious dinner, we went on a tour of the house guided by the female pirate. She did a really good job--although the kids didn't get most of her jokes--I thought she was hysterical. It was a really fun night. Glad they didn't hoodwink us to the kitchen for cleanup or make us mop the deck and most definetely glad we didn't have to walk the plank! If you're ever in Savannah, the Pirates House is a MUST see place to eat some REALLY great food and entertain the kiddos for a couple of hours. Just ask Easton and John--and try to hire a sitter for Paisley!
