Day 20

see you on the FLIPSIDE

June 27, 2015

Today we got to go see Parker play indoor soccer. I loved being able to watch one of his sporting events. That is something that is such a privilege for me to do with him. Carmen told me my inner soccer mom came out while I was watching him play. Having played soccer much of my young life, it's not easy to watch people play without being vocal. GO PARKER!!

Later in the afternoon when we were all hanging out, Josh decided we needed to get out and do something. Parker has been wanting to do all the things on our fun list but since our time there was coming to an end, I think he assumed we weren't going to do much else before we had so say our goodbyes. Josh told him we were going to take him to Flipside for his Birthday gift. Flipside is a family fun center with plenty of family friendly activities and food. They have bowling, mini bowling, laser tag, laser maze, arcade, toddler center, hover bumper cars and dining area. Baby Tyson needed to be looked after so I opted out of participating so Steph could enjoy spending time with her niece and nephews, my children. They had a blast. I loved taking their picture as they would come out of the doors after playing laser tag. Cosmic Bowling was a blast. My family seriously loves competition. We had pizza, salad, wings and burgers for dinner. Their food was so good! We planned on being there for about 2 hours....... but 4 hours and a crazy sand storm later, Steph put Tyson in his jammies and he ran around until the storm subsided and we could head to the RV to give them a tour before saying our goodbyes. MISS THEM ALREADY!

Day 20

Today was going to be another lazy day, we swam and relaxed all morning, but a few hours after lunch Dad had other plans. He decided he wanted to treat everyone to Flipside. Flipside is a kind of mix between Chucky Cheese and Dave and Buster's. There was food, bowling, mini bowling, pool, an arcade, a spy laser maze, a ball pit/climbing center for kids, bumper car type things, and, my personal favorite, laser tag. All of us really enjoyed the different activities. Charlie beat everyone at bowling, even the adults! The bumper cars were fun because we got to slam into each other. Dad and I passed the laser maze on hard and ended with a really good time. I was a beast at laser tag, we played several times and I beat dad almost every time. The first round all of my family members were on the same team except for me, so I was on a team with strangers. The team I was on won and I got third place over all beating all of my family members. The second round I got eighth, then fourth, second, and first. I had the best time in there beating my family and all the other people in there. The funniest thing was coming out to see the scores and having all the guys look totally embarrassed to learn they were beaten by a girl. I had the best accuracy percentage for the majority of the rounds also. We ended up staying later than planned because of a sand storm that came through. Right before we left, I took Tyson in the laser maze, it was funny trying to crawl through the lasers holding a baby. He loved it at first, but he ended up not liking it much at the very end. We drove back to the RV where we gave Parker and Auntie Stephanie a tour and then said our goodbyes.
