Boondocks Date

At the beginning of the summer we bought these discount combo passes to Boondocks (that big place just past the point of the mountain with the waterfalls, slick track and the volcano with real fire). We thought it would be a fun date to go up and play around. But summer came and went and we never made it. So Wednesday we had planned on going after I got done with school. Well, after a long, tiring, frustrating day at school, I came home ready to postpone our Boondocks trip one more time and just get in my pj's and be lazy. Well, I got home and found these... 2 dozen long stemed roses!!! I about started to cry because they were so beautiful and it had just been one of those days. Then Dustin said "Well are you ready to go?" He had just cheered me up in a matter of minutes and made my not so great day awesome already! So I changed quick and we were off. For those of you who haven't been to Boondocks... you should go. We had an absolute blast! First we got to do the bumber boats and we were the only ones out there. So we were just following each other around, squirting each other. Dustin's sprayer shot really high but mine was squirting right at him. Ha ha I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe. Then we went over to the slick track race cars. We raced and raced and raced and raced for like 25 minutes. They just let us keep on going and going and finally we just pulled over to the side and asked them if we could come in. They said because there was no one there they were just letting people go as long as they wanted. Then we played a game of miniture golf. It was a really cool course with ponds and fountains and the course goes right through that big volcano looking thing. I was so proud of myself because I got 2 holes in one!!! (which has never happened before) And, because I tied with Dustin (who has been golfing a TON this summer)! Then we decided we were hungry but we didn't want burgers and fries so we drove over to Harmon's Grocery store (the nicest grocery store we've ever been in!) They had this carvers restaurant where we got tri-tip sirloin with two sides and a roll and it was only like 7 bucks. They had this nice eating area on the second floor that overlooked the whole store. And to make it better... out the big window we had a perfect view of the new Draper temple. It was delicious! We ate then went back and played lazer tag (where Dustin was the top scorer for the game), played one more game of mini golf (on the other course) and used our forty tokens in the arcade. Then to top it all off we went back to Harmon's because they had a Gelato bar with italian ice cream, it was SO yummy! I got peaches with honey and sweet cream and Dustin got chocolate, strawberry and bananna. The funniest 10 year old boy came and sat with us while we were eating our ice cream and kept us laughing all through dessert!
What started out as not the greatest day ended up being one of the funnest days we've had in a while. When I went back to teach on Thursday I felt like I had had a whole weekend. It was great. So Dustin... Thanks for being the greatest and making me so happy! I love you!
