Austin had his birthday bash over the weekend and from the looks of it, all the boys had a grand time. Obviously held late, the big party was held at the Shadowland Laser Adventure Center in Chantilly, VA. We had the party after his actual birthday, once we found a suitable gap in our schedule and the available dates offered by Shadowland. For those of you not in the know, Shadowland is an organized laser tag center. You play by donning your laser tag suit and entering the arena. Once inside you are divided into Blue/Red teams and the battle begins. The basic objective is to shoot your laser gun at opposing team members and collect points.
I played the first round with the boys, but sat out the second round as the whole dark room/flashing lights experience gave me a headache. Recent events have forced me not to ignore this, so I didn't push it.
Simply put, Austin and his associated gang throughly enjoyed the experience and can't wait to go back. Tracy and I on the other hand were able to put up with shrieking and jostling that only a band of 9-11 year old boys can produce only because the entire affair was not taking place in our house!
Here's to parties at some other place than home!
