Pogo Pass

 Since we are not really having a summer vacation this year, I bought Pogo Passes for everyone.  It's 39.99 per person and is good for a year.  You get all sorts of free admission to places in the valley.  Jumpstreet, bowling, rock climbing, paintball, Dbacks games, Sunsplash, lasar tag, comedy club, zoo, aquarium, museum, etc.

So we jumped right in with a day of bowling.  Let me tell ya...that was FUN!  Now there's just a smidge of sarcasm there.  It really was fun.  However, bowling with that many people is just long.  Now add in the tears and pouting and it was a blast!  Bo started out doing really good, jumping and smiling... it was then I reminded him that it was for fun and even if he doesn't continue to do that well, he needs to stay happy.  He cheerfully says "I know!"  Not two frames later he's pouting and sitting under the table.  And THAT was how it was for the entire rest of the time.  Dalin, who couldn't seem to keep it out of the gutter, cried right along with him.  Even if he happened to get a good one now and then, he refused to smile.  Just slumpy shoulders and tears.  Brooklyn also couldn't keep it out of the gutter, but didn't seem to give a hoot.  Rhett, of course, whipped it down there like a pro.

Two games was definitely too much for this group.  BUT... Mom, Chelsey and I decided this would be an awesome thing for the three of us to do while the kids were in school!

Saturday night we did date night with the Johnsons ( who also have the passes ) and went to a comedy club.  What's awesome about this club is that it's 100% clean.  There may have been more kids there than adults. (pogo pass users for sure).  It's improv and not always super funny, but still good.  We really enjoyed it and will go back again.  Probably even bring the kids a time or two.  All for FREE!  

Stay tuned for more pogo pass fun this summer!!
