Anderson Farm's - A Yearly Tradition


We had a great time at this year's trek to Anderson Farms. The trails were a little "soft" but there were only a few mud puddles. There were quite a few mosquitos, so be sure to bring some mosquito repellent. There are some HUGE pumpkins in the field...so head on over and pick your favorite!

Kids Vacationing on Their Own

The girls (all three) have been in Florida with family for a month. For Chance and I, this has been a wonderful respite from the everyday hustle and activity of kids. For them, I think it will be memories that last a lifetime. They are staying with my mil, but are also seeing aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. We see the family occasionally, but usually on for a few days. This is the first time the kids have spent a longer period of time getting to know their family....and for the family to get to know the girls. The hardest part of them being gone for a month is Arionna's anxiety. She misses us. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY misses us...as she told me for 45 minutes on the phone the other night. I will admit, those conversations are draining...sucks the life right out of me. I remind myself...this is GOOD for her...to really know what it is like to not be with us everyday. And, it is GOOD for her to stretch outside of her comfort zone. Now, if I can just make it through the next few days until they come home..all will be good!

Have you ever sent you kids on an extended vacation without you? How did you/they handle it?

River Rafting DEALS

One of the great summer activities enjoyed  in Colorado is river rafting. And, we have a LOTS of great offers to make the adventure more budget friendly.

Enjoy!


The Things Kids Say

When Kaylee was little (around 3, I believe) we dropped my husband off at work. I asked her if she want to give Daddy a kiss. She responded with: "No." My husband and I were both shocked and taken a little aback that she would say to giving a kiss. As we pulled away from my husband's office, I asked Kaylee why she didn't want to give Daddy a kiss...her response:

"I'm all out of kisses and the kiss store is closed right now,  so I can't go buy more."

Who can argue with THAT??

Boondocks FUN Center Review

Last Friday the girls and I were the guests of Boondocks Fun Center in Northglenn. The Unlimited Fun pass granted Alora and I unlimited access to Go-Karts, Mini Golf, Bowling, and Laser Tag. We also received 10 tokens to use at the arcade. Arionna is less than 60 inches tall, so she was treated to all the great fun listed above and 20 tokens for the arcade. If your child meets the height recommendation, they can also enjoy the Kiddie Cove.

We arrived at the Boondocks Fun Center at about 11am during the last day of our Spring Break. Lines when we arrived were nice and short and we were able to move quickly between the Go-Kart tracks: the Rockie Track (must be over 48 inches),  Slick Track (must be over 60 inches), and Road Track (driver must be over 60 inches and over 40 inches for passenger) and Laser Tag. The girls enjoyed using their tokens on the arcade games that rewarded them with tickets that redeemed for prized. At lunch time we took advantage of the pizza buffet: unlimited pizza, salad, and bread sticks for only $5 per person! After lunch a large group arrived and the Boondocks Fun Center quickly filled up...the lines for attractions were remarkably longer. We made the decision to leave and come back later in the afternoon.

Alora decided not to join us when we returned to the Boondocks Fun Center, so it was Arionna and I who headed back for more fun. I am so glad we made the decision to come back. We arrived after 4pm and the large groups had departed. The lines were very similar to when we arrived...only a few minutes wait for each attraction. The lines remained short all the way until we left at 8pm.

If you are interested in bowling at the Boondocks Fun Center, it is super easy to "wait in line" when a lane is not currently available. Simply check-in at the desk, leave a cell phone number, and the reservation will text you when your lane is ready. If you are in the middle of an activity, simply send a text asking to be moved back to the end of the waiting list. You will receive a text with the new approximate time that the lane will be available. When you receive the text that your lane is ready, head over to the counter to receive your lane assignment and your shoes. Waiting in line has never been easier!

Oh, and remember that pizza buffet from lunch? They provide you with a wrist bracelet to access the buffet...and the bracelet is valid from 12 noon until 8pm...so Arionna and I headed back to the pizza buffet for dinner! What a GREAT deal!

This was not our first time to the Boondocks Fun Center. We have been there for birthday parties, Summer Camp Field Trips, and for fun with the family. The common denominator with all of our trips? Lots of FUN!

Here are some tips for heading to the Boondocks Fun Center...especially on busy Spring Break and Summer vacation days:

*Arrive early (doors usually open at 10am)
*If large groups are arriving, consider heading home (or to another activity) and returning during the late afternoon
*Or, plan your visit for later in the day
*Take advantage of the wait list option for bowling
*The $5 All-You-Can-Eat pizza buffet is a GREAT deal (especially is you return for dinner on the same day)
*If you plan on playing Laser Tag DO NOT wear white! You will glow.











* Most of all - HAVE FUN!













The girls and I received Unlimited Fun passes to experience the Boondocks Fun Center, but all opinions are mine.
