Laser Tag

Today was the reward field trip for the reading program. The PTA took the top 2 classes for the entire year to Laser Mania. They got 2 hours of unlimited laser tag, bumper cars and mini golf. They could also play in the arcade if they brought money.
I decided that since Preston has had to tag along to all of the meetings, "help" set things up, and follow me all over the school while I picked up calendars, he deserved to go.
I knew he'd be too little for the laser tag, but I thought he could probably do bumper cars. When we got there, we found out that he was too little. HE WAS BROKEN HEARTED!!! I felt so bad! I was eventually able to talk him into playing mini golf with me. He was soooo cute. He tried so hard to hit the ball in the hole, but just couldn't quite get it. Finally, he picked up the ball dropped it in the hole and then yells, "Hey mom! Look! That's a lot easier!" It was hilarious. From then on he ran around dropping the ball in the whole. I kept telling him to use the club and he said, "No! Dats to hawd!"
We spent most of the time in the arcade! He had so much fun. He hit the jackpot on one of the machines and won like 200 tickets. You should have seen him jumping up and down, squealing in excitement as the tickets made a huge pile on the floor. He had to call Chris at work to tell him "I hit the jackpot!" When all was said and done he walked away with the most expensive $1 remote control car you've ever seen! lol Oh well, he had a ball and that's all that I care about!

As a side note: Today, Chrysler released its list of dealers that will be closing. They closed a total of 789 dealerships, nationwide. Parkway will be losing its Jeep franchise! They are closing 10 dealers in Utah including all 3 in Cedar City and 1 in St George! Truthfully, Parkway loses $ every month with their Jeep franchise. They were only keeping it in the hopes of expanding at some point in the future to a full fledged Dodge dealer. Ford is the bread and butter of that place!! Chris was actually kind of excited (well, that's probably not the best word to use) because he HATES working on Chrysler warranty! Their warranty pay is pathetic!Sooo.. if you own a Chrysler vehicle in Southern Utah, good luck getting any warranty work done. They kept the one in Richfield open, but other than that, you'll have to go to either Vegas or Salt Lake for any warranty repairs! Not Cool!
