Kara's in the Double Digits Now!

Kara turned 10!  It was a great Memorial Day/Birthday.  We spent the day at the water park, which wasn't Kara's first choice, but it's what we did because we bought season passes.  She ended up having a good time hanging out with mostly Tanner and Dad.  

Kara's idea of a good time was going to Wahooz (an arcade, with some rides and lazer tag), which is fun, and because it was her birthday we went. She told us that she just wanted to spend time in the arcade.  We granted her wish and gave her a $5 card.  She immediately went to the "gambling" machine to spend all of her money and she wasn't alone, Barry and Tanner were right beside her.
  This all stems back to Kendra's Birthday in March when we went to Wahooz.  We bought passes that included all the attractions and we also each got a $5 card to use in the arcade. Good. Clean. Fun.  Well Barry, Tanner and Kara found this machine that has all kinds of electronic gadgets that you can win, its kind of a lock and key system.  You place the key and if you place it just right so it can go through the hole you win the prize, but if you are off even just by a hair the key doesn't go through. Well after using $10 from their cards Barry miraculously wins an ipod shuffle, it was great, until they thought they should go after the mini ipad....it only cost them $10 to get the ipod surely they could win the ipad too.  Forty dollars later they decided to stop trying, even though they were so close.  Thank goodness they stopped while they were a few dollars ahead.    Kara was banking on spending the entire day trying to win another prize, this is why we went to the water park.  They spent $30 this time with nothing to show for it.

 We ended our adventures with donuts from Krispy Kremes and singing "Happy Birthday" at Erin's house.   Later we went swimming at their neighborhood pool.

 Sure Love that Spunky Girl!
