Groupon, Oh Groupon!

Expiration dates.

They come & go on a lot of food in our fridge. They are easy to miss on car inspection stickers. This week some of our Groupon coupons were going to expire, so we were at the point of use it or lose it. Thus, we decided to go & climb the wall.

Our family spent five and a half hours at Austin Parks & Pizza this afternoon. It was a lot of fun.

I told Peter that I was glad we hadn't introduced the kids to this place before now because they are going to want to come a lot.

We somewhat beat the crowds today, and the kids all gave the rock climbing wall a whirl. I tried it too. It is A LOT harder than it looks! Tons of video games were included in the Groupon and we did the race cars and water boat squirting ride.
My favorite was Laser Tag. Peter was the only one who had done that. The kids knew of it from some TV show. We had a blast in there. At the very end, someone flew around a corner with their gun right at Alex's head level and he got whacked pretty hard. Nice bruise on his forehead to remember the day.
We also attempted miniture golf but it was packed and a little frustrating. Campbell did manage a legit hole-in-one. She was so proud and it was a great shot! We'll have to teach the kids the right way to play another time. I have fond memories of miniture golf with my family when I was young.

We also kind of ate two meals there. Definitely carb'ed it up for lunch & by 5:00, the kids were hungry again, so we had a little scooby-snack of pizza again!
It was a great family day. Gotta luv the Groupon!
