Boondocks/Birthday Weekend


So Friday all day the weather had been pretty decent and then as soon as we got in the car to drive to Boondocks, it decided to start raining. I almost started crying! Thursday had been a pretty stressful day and I just wanted there to be good weather for my birthday. But of course I can't control the weather. When we got to Boondocks it was packed with I swear like a million 12 year olds. But I should have expected that. So I was in a pretty bad mood at first.

As soon as everyone got there, we ate dinner and then went outside to ride the go-carts. Because it was raining they were only running 8 cars at a time when normally they run like 24 at a time. Also another go-cart track was closed due to the rain, so we waited in line for lilke 45 minutes. While in line I decided to not be in such a bad mood, and just enjoy my birthday. My family had come out to support me and I realized I was being petty. So after go-carts we played mini golf on one of their really cool courses. I even got a hole in one, and Kaili had a few 2's.


Then wen went inside and played the arcades. It was a lot of fun. They have a really cool Deal or No Deal game that was fun to play.


We were there until 10:00, Karson and Kaili were so tired, and all in all everyone had a lot of fun! Thanks to my family for all coming out to play with me on my birthday. Saturday I was able to go to the mall and use my Forever 21 gift cards everyone gave me, and the American Express Card I got for Administrative Professional Day. I was able to get 2 pairs of earings, some head bands, 3 shirts and a dress at Forever 21. At Down East I got 3 shirts and 2 tank tops. I only spent $6 of my own money. The gift cards covered the rest. Then Ty and I were able to go see a movie on Satuday thanks to Amanda who watched the kids for us! Saturday night we just hung out at home. Sunday we had my birthday dinner at the Fankhausers! We had yummy grilled hamburgers, pasta salad, chips and a yummy yellow cake, cream cheese strawberry dessert. Thanks to everyone who helped make my birthday so special. I am lucky to have so many great people in my life!

That sounds like so much fun! I'm sorry that it was crummy weather for your special night, though. I'm glad that you ended up enjoying it.
