PLUS, we could visit Kevin and Dawn and Family again, eat Culver's frozen custard, eat a Fontina burger and drink a date shake at Joe's Farm Grill, and eat at the Black Bear Diner!
Here are some (actually a lot) of pictures at Amazing Jake's...
The reunion members were allowed in an hour earlier than the public, but that also meant that some of the early "bugs" weren't yet worked out. We went to do some lazer tag, but the computer that runs all the guns and vests wasn't cooperating. We eventually ditched it and went elsewhere. But this is what we looked like while we waited for them to figure out why it wasn't working.
Duncan, Liam and Jennan got on this fast spinning ride.
There's Jennan.
Jennan and Tegan with mom on the tea cup ride. Anna was spinning that cup like crazy! Tegan could barely keep her head up.
There were a lot of rides Tegan couldn't go on because she was too small. But that meant she got to go on rides the other kids didn't get to go on, like this train ride.
The three older kids and I went on the bumper cars. They were unique vehicles, not really "cars" at all, but they were sure fun!
This ride is very similar to the jelly fish ride at California Adventure. It goes up and bounces it's way down, then back up, and bounces down. It does that about 4 times before it's over. Tegan really liked this ride, which is good, because she went on it a lot while waiting for the others to go on the other rides.
We chose to do some miniature golf. There were enough different colored golf balls that we could each have our own color.
Duncan had TWO hole in ones this session!
Jennan preferred to hit the ball as a righty, even though she's a lefty.

Liam also got a hole in one this day!! (fyi- So did I.)
After golf we hit up the buffet! Pizza, fruit, pizza, pizza, pasta, pizza, cookies, pizza, and ice cream. The pizza was surprisingly good. They had about 8 different types out, and replenished them quickly. There are many places to eat your pizza. We chose the movie room. They had three different movies playing at the same time. We were closest to "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". They were also playing "G-Force" and one of the Shrek movies. The volumes were REALLY low, so it was literally "watching" movies while you ate. The kids didn't care though.

After lunch we went bowling. I know, I know, the kids already go bowling once a week, so why bowl?... Because Daddy wanted to, that's why. The kids like bowling, so they didn't care. Plus it gave us a chance to "compete" with the kids.
Tegan hasn't been signed up for bowling yet, so she was really excited to be able to bowl with everyone.
There she goes... (yep, we bowled with bumpers)
After we finished bowling, it was time to go. Amazing Jake's was closing early to accommodate a private party for the second half of the day. There were still a lot of things we didn't get to do that we wanted to do, but really, how could we complain? We got to do everything else for FREE! We still had a great time.
After Jake's, we went to the ward building where the reunion was, and had an auction. (The auction helps pay for the reunion.) After the auction they served dinner- chili verde burritos! They were SO good! Once dinner and dessert were done, we headed back to Kevin and Dawn's house.
Fun day! VERY fun trip!!
