Mystery Outing

I rarely get to surprise my kids with anything. They are just too smart and usually figure it out. With summer almost over I tried to think of something fun and different we could do today to get everyone out of the house. I remembered hearing about an indoors mini golf place and decided that would be perfect... (and out of the summer heat).

So last night I just told the kids that we were going somewhere and it was a surprise. They couldn't stand not knowing so they played 20 questions to try and figure it out. They made me promise that if they guessed it I would tell them (hummm, think they don't trust me?)

No one figured it out last night, so I thought I was in the clear and it would be a great surprise. But this morning they continued asking more questions.

Ultimately, Parker guessed it.... Mini Golf. I told them it was right, but they didn't believe me.
I thought there would be no way they would guess because we hadn't gone for such a long time. and there really isn't any in Las Vegas before now.

So we spent a fun hour at King Putt - an indoor, black light, mini golf course. It was so fun. When we arrived a group was just ahead of us so the kids played a game of Air Hockey to give them a head start.
There was 18 holes (duh), and each had their own obstacles.... It was pretty fun to golf in the dark. I didn't want to use the flash and ruin the atmosphere so enjoy the silhouettes of the kids
Parker made a hole in one on the Parrot holeVery tricky getting the ball into the gator's mouth
Under the Sea.... Nope, Ariel wasn't there
Loop-de-loop hole #13 ( I made it first try)

Almost at the end...
We had such a fun time and guess what.... I won!
(No... I didn't cheat)

It's sometimes hard to find something fun to do with 2 teenagers that they won't think is too childish. But we'll definitely go back and visit King Putt!
Now... what to do tomorrow?
