Austin's Park

Today was a pretty quiet yet productive school day. We finally got to some American history readings that I had been wanting to do. We've been holding off on a lot of written work while the Transformer's hand heals more. The gash is still quite visible, although it doesn't hurt him.

After some waffling, due to the soggy weather, we went ahead and went to Austin's Park up in Pflugerville for the afternoon and evening. Although it was not spectacular, we ended up having a good time. Upon first impression, my husband and I were ready to be disappointed (and were for short while), but things started looking up when we got into the bumper boats. Whee! Got nice and wet and had a great time.

We also rode Go Karts, as you can see here, as well as playing miniature golf, climbing a rock wall, playing Lazer Tag, and playing lots of video games. The kids also rode the little train and a ride called Little Shot of which a video is shown below.



On the downside, the soles of my feet were hurting pretty bad by the time we left. On the upside, we all agreed that it was a pretty good birthday celebration for the Transformer. :)
