Fun @ Formula K

Around Chrismastime Cole came home from school and told his mom & dad that he got detention for being bad at school (we will spare Cole the embarrassment of all the details).... of course, everyone was shocked because Cole is a great student and all the teachers love him. So, typical me I decide a bet is in order... I asked Cole if he thought he could make it the rest of the year and not get into trouble again... we decided a trip to Formula K would be the reward if he could make it...

Well.... he made it the whole rest of the year without beating up on any other kids, yelling in class, throwing snowballs, or forgetting to write his name on his paper... or anything else you can get in trouble for when you are in first grade.... SO Formula K here we come! We played some arcade games, practiced our Tiger Woods moves on the putt-putt golf course and smashed into eachother on the bumper car course... The picture below is Cole's hole in 1 (yes he beat me at Putt-Putt and I cried)

After I dried up my tears from the severe beating I took in golf we went back for some more arcade games on a mission to get some more tickets so Cole could win a prize (Yes I did play the easiest game possible in order to rack up the tickets, come on what kind of Aunt would I be if I didn't do that?) We piled up a grand total of 277 tickets and had a serious debate over what toy/toys to choose... After much serious deliberation and mind changing we ended up with a stuffed animal and some other miscellaneous toys... then it was off to bumper cars where we smashed into eachother until our heads hurt... Last but not least Cole picked the spot for dinner.... and even though I tried I could not talk him out of McDonalds.... we need to work on Cole's culinary tastes... or we need to talk a good restaurant into having a playland....

Great Job Cole on finishing up First Grade without getting into trouble... I think we will up the odds next year, how about 1 whole year of not getting in trouble and we will go to Cedar Point....? I'm betting you can do it.
