Laser Tag at Xtreme Craze Foxboro

Laser Tag

A few years ago I went to Extreme Craze in Westborough. When I was there I was talking with the owner who mentioned that he was trying to get approval to open an Xtreme Craze in Foxboro. Well, it looks like they got it because I received an email a few weeks ago saying that they were having a soft opening and we could go for free ($5 a person but we got that back in the form of a card for video games.). I signed up to go thinking that this would be some sort of little event with a few people. I was wrong on that one. this event was widely publicized and the place was packed. We signed up for Laser Tag and I didn’t realize that it was an either or sort of situation because we were unable to go on the inflatable course. Luckily Andrew was a trooper and didn’t get too upset. We played a game of 4 rounds of laser tag and how a lot of fun. Andrew did really well, too. I hit a decent stride but could have done better. Allison and Eva also did well. Eva did much better once she figured out how to properly use the laser tag blaster.

We’ll have to come back another time to play with everything.

Happy Halloween 2019

Happy Halloween everyone. This year we went over to our friend’s house to trick or treat. It has become our yearly tradition. They live in a great neighborhood that is perfect for trick or treating. We popped over there after school and then picked up pizza for dinner.

About to Trick or Treat

This year I picked up a new costume of an inflatable dragon. I didn’t have any armor for the top half so I used an old Boba Fett costume that I had which I put on under the dragon costume. It was a weird mashup but people liked it.

Andrew was Newt Scamander from Fantastic Beasts but it was that character according to Andrew. He wore his purple horns under a fedora because, as he stated, Newt was beginning to become a beast like those he tracked and learned about.

Eva was Anabeth Chase from Percy Jackson. She put the costume together on her own and then added a Hyperstrike bow from my influencer kit. I had it in my car after Trunk or Treat last night.

This morning I helped out at Andrew’s classroom for their Halloween party. I had a group of kids and led them through a bunch of games. Then they had a snack and then the parent’s left. The kids had a fun time.

Luigi's Mansion 3

Today Nintendo sent me a free copy of the new Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch. I will be doing a full review of the game soon as part of my Holiday Gift Guide which starts tomorrow.
