Celebrating Conor

The boys were excited to celebrate Conor Vuolo's birthday and check out Monster Mini Golf.  We arrived and entered the party room where they did a variety of games as the kids waited their turn to enter the miniature golf course.

Jackson was selected/volunteered to be rolled up in toilet paper by his friends. He was giggling with excitement.


After the games and some snacks, the kids were able to enter the miniature golf course, which just like the party room, was all about the glow in the dark. Unfortunately, the kids got behind a group of 4 that thought they were practicing for the Ryder Cup and thought that they were really going to make the team.

Amazingly, the kids didn't seem to mind and they really enjoyed themselves on their first attempt at miniature golf.  Here are some pics around the course.  Apparently, a round of golf with the under 10
crowd could take 15 to 30 minutes maximum and I think that it took almost an hour and a half.

This place was very interestingly decorated hence the name Monster Mini Golf and Jackson didn't really appreciate it. He actually asked for a parent to walk him to the bathroom.  I don't know that I could see him wanting to go back anytime soon.






After the minitaure golf, the kids were given tokens to play games. Unfortunately, they didn't explain to the kids how much the tokens were worth and they didn't understand the correlation to that token only being able to play about 1 game.  It was leaving almost $1 on the token, which seemed fine, but that didn't get you another game and we couldn't combine the money on the token.

It was pure chaos and the delay of the wait for the miniature golf set in and with it being very close to dinner time resulted in tears from most of the kids for only being able to play one game and the tickets not really buying anything.



Connor made a great pick of air hockey and was able to play with his dad and Luke for an extended period of time, which put a smile on his face.  Jackson, on the other hand, was in tears because he put a token in and somebody else ended up playing his game.  He was super upset and we got out of there as quickly as possible along with all the other parents who knew their kids had had enough.

Regardless, the boys had a great time celebrating their friend Conor.
