Outing to Boondocks

The events have continued with my sister Amanda and her boyfriend David in town, so with their visit coming to a close, we decided as a family to spend our last night together at Boondocks. We all received a 3 hour unlimited pass for Laser Tag, Bumper Boats, and Miniature Golf, along with several arcade tokens to use for the games. I have always enjoyed the two complexly detailed themed miniature golf courses, consisting of 18 holes per course, and the beautiful landscaping of the entire park. I wouldn’t say that Laser Tag is my choice favorite among all the attractions, but I will say that it is quite the experience, as it portrays a theme pertaining to a galaxy and the illusion of black lights and space images. We broke into two teams…boys against girls. I knew all along that the boys would have the advantage, but we still managed to gain our fair share of points on them. I would say the Bumper Boats are my favorite! The boats look like gigantic inner tubes with a motor attached and a built in steering device consisting of a handle to move your boat in any direction and a water shooter, or “Master Blaster” as it is called, to spray the other boaters. Last night, we all got a little more than just sprayed with water…we were completely drenched! Some of us got a little carried away, and began splashing water, while spraying at the same time. It’s just a good thing that was the last activity we took part in last night. We played enough arcade games to redeem our tickets for all that silly kid stuff, which I love! Boondocks really is a fun center for family and friends, since there are so many free-spirited activities, and you can just go and act like a kid again. We had a great time, and although I was bummed to realize I had forgotten my camera, it didn’t even matter. So, I don’t have pictures this time…sorry folks!
