Boondocks Fun!

For our last little outing before school started, we decided to surprise the boys with a Boondocks trip. Maddox has literally been bugging us for months to take him there, and we finally found the perfect time to go. Scott was off of work and we figured that a Tuesday morning after Labor Day weekend would be a good time since most kids are all back in school. We told Maddox that we were going to take him to a 'fun' place but wouldn't tell him where. While we were driving we said that the surprise was Del Taco where they could play in the play gym and have a kids' meal (which usually is a 'fun' outing when you're not anticipating some 'super fun' place). You should have seen the look of disappointment on his face! I think he secretly was hoping that the surprise place was Boondocks! So then we said we were just kidding and we were actually going to Costco to run some errands and then we would have a smoothie and hot dog there for lunch. Doesn't that sound fun!? We had him convinced until we actually pulled into the Boondocks parking lot. Boy, were they excited!! On top of that, we also planned on meeting cousins Logan and Sawyer and Aunt Angie there. All the boys' had such a good time on the go-carts, miniature golf, play gym and lots of video games. Plus hardly anyone was there! It was a great way to end summer vacation!
