Adventure Park USA

After a very long week at work, tonight I stopped to catch a breath of fun, games, laughter, and.... oh yeah, air! Where did all of this go down? .... Adventure Park USA. Only minutes from home and yet tonight was my first appearance. I was invited by an old friend to tag along with her church's young adult group. Not only was it good to catch up with her again but I got a chance to meet her Pastor. Come to find out, he used to be the youth Pastor for one of my old Pastors.... (tongue twister huh). Anyway, he started in Ministry when he was young. He currently leads Praise & Worship (before he preaches) AND he's a web developer. WOW, he sounds like me. In fact he's just the person I've been wanting to meet. He developed and maintains the entire DELMARVA DC Church of God website. How kool is that! What a fun person to be around. Anywho..... back to my adventure.

All in all, there were alot of little cool things to do, especially if you're a kid at heart. I bought $20 worth of credits and I didn't even get a chance to use them all.....Next Time!

So.... where did I start?

Putt Putt. Somehow they convinced me to play in the cold, wet, soggy, brisk, rain.... arrrgghhhh. So, of course I didn't win. (*wink*) In that cold, 18 holes felt like 38! Although I felt a little stupid for being out there in the cold, there was another group of people playing paintball. WOW....hmmmm. Just a little too cold for Brotha Jay to be getting shot at on purpose, ya know!

Then it was off to climb some walls!
It took me a sec to get my footing because the soles of my shoes were soaked from our casual Tiger Woods competition in the blundering cold soggy fake marshy blah blah blah...grass. hahaha.

Now, the other side!
The best part was letting go and falling to the ground. Once I was finished, the attendant took my gear off and smiled. Ut-Oh, I thought..... He forgot to swipe my Adventure Park credit card. Now I can lie to you and say that the devil didn't tempt me to just walk away and save those 40 credits for laser tag but c'mon.... I'm saved and I'm at a Christian Event.. WWJD? Knowing what he would do wasn't the problem, but I pulled together and DWJD (Did What Jesus Did). I told the truth. He was shocked that I even told him that he forgot to charge me. So I thought maybe he wouldn't....... but S.W.I.P.E....yup, he swiped it and thanked me.. hahaha... But it seemed like my card never ran out after that. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!

Next I kinda setup residence in front of the Skeeball machine :) Who knew that this game was so addictive. I tell ya, once you hit a few 50's and then a couple 100's you just keeping swipin' and swipin'. Poor kids, I had a line of little ones behind me just patiently waiting. I tried to convince myself that they were there to admire my flawless ball throwing form but I could tell by the look on their faces and the Adventure Park Credit Cards in their hands that they wanted to play also :-D

So, I played some other games, and won a army hat (along with some other goodies). I saw a kool bowling pin set (60 Credits) that I wanted to get for a little special guy of mine... but once I got up there I was embarrassed to find out that there was a small handwritten '3' directly before the 60 Credits. So.......... I ended up being 300 credits short. HAHAHAHAHA. Imagine how goofy I looked, with the hat and all, trying to get a HUGE discount. It wasn't my fault. It was a typo on the sign.

.... welp... the Chilinnnnnes are gone. Back to the game that made my arm so tired I had trouble keeping it lifted up on the steering wheel when I drove home (hehehe).
I did pretty good.

Ahhhhhhhhh.....
