Wednesday like we have done the past 5 years is get all of us Moms and our kiddos together for a fun trip out of town about 2 hours away. It is a good time for the kids to catch up, some don't live in the same town. And it is important to us mom that they form amazing bonds with each other.
First we get them all matching shirts, sometimes we make them sometimes we buy them. When you are talking taking 19 kids ages 11-2 we need them to stand out in a crowd!
Then we piled into cars and drive 2 hours where the kids are bursting with energy. We have been trying to change it up every year, but it seems like all the kids regardless of age still love Chucky Cheese. We moms love the salad bar and the fact that they stamp the kids hand and the can't leave the building without matching mom hand. Thanks goodness chasing out the door is minimal. This place is a bit expensive but since we are old pros at it we find really good coupons. This year we decided we would try Roller Skating.......only 2 of the 15 kids had only tryed it once the rest were skating virgins. Ummmm, the first 20 mins were alittle nerve wracking for us moms. There was LOTS of falling down and Bambie's on ice. We though Oh Gosh, they are going to throw in the towel and we have no back up plan for 3 hours. But I was really impressed no matter how many times they fell down (and trust me, it was ALOT) they got right back up. And we were pulling them off the rink at closing...3 hours later.
