Field Trip Friday #35 (and the last for the year)--Trafalga

We had to stop by Trafalga yesterday to renew our passes to Seven Peaks, and being there reminded the kids how much fun it was.  They begged me to take them there again for field trip Friday, and as I didn't really have anything else on the agenda, we went.  I got the kids some tokens so they could play games, and they came away with fabulous prizes--NOT!  Brandt got a cupful of plastic army guys, and Blythe won several small pieces of candy and a stretchy ring.

We also did indoor miniature golfing.  The kids don't golf well.  They used their clubs more like hockey sticks, moving the ball around the green towards the hole until the ball went in.  Didn't matter, of course.  I didn't even bother to get a score card, and we were only there to have fun.  We almost overtook several other golfers because of the speed of the golfing, but again, it didn't really matter.  We got a Swig on the way home too.

I think Field Trip Friday has been very successful.  The kids have enjoyed it.  I think it is a tradition we will continue next school year.  I'm going to try and do a bigger outing/activity once a week through the summer too, but not necessarily on Friday.

It is super dark in the miniature golf course. 

It's meant to be an underwater scene, so everything is painted with glow in the dark paint

and lit with black lights.

Makes for terrible picture taking and difficulty golfing.

Both kids were playing racing games,

Blythe on a motorcycle and Brandt in a car.

Neither of them are very good drivers.
