Space Invaders with Uncle E

Today was a divide and conquer sort of day. Andrew and I went with Uncle E to a place called Main Event. This location had all sorts of things to do including Laser Take, Pool, and bowling. You get one pass that lets you do everything. We were there mostly to play Laser Tag. We played two sessions almost completely alone but our last time was with a large group. I only fell short of winning the whole thing by 200 points.

Laser Tag with Uncle E

On top of the laser tag there were also tons of video games. Andrew and Uncle E played the giant space invaders game and had a lot of fun. We all played Arctic Thunder and I did so well I even got a couple of free games out of my plays.

The Ropes Course - no Fear

Above the video games there was a ropes course. This was also included in our pass. Andrew wanted to go up and so he and I made our way up to the course. I went across one thing on the course, Andrew nearly did the entire course in the time it took me to cross one. He got scared at one point but Uncle E talked to him from below. That got him going again, which is good because my feet were rooted to the spot.

When we left we went to Joella’s for some Hot Chicken. It was good but by no means very hot at all. I got the step below inferno, too.

Eva on shopping trip

While the boys went off to play the girls went shopping. Eva has been playing fashion model all week. She has tried on almost every pair of my sister’s shoes and starte don the dresses.

Andrew at Citizen Seven

For dinner we went to Citizen Seven and it was excellent. They make some delicious tacos and good drinks. They even have this very cool wall of little plastic action figures that are all painted red, white or blue to make a huge sign on the wall. It looked so cool.

That night we watched Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in the basement with everyone. We picked that one because my sister went to school with Phil Lord and Chris Miller. she got a real kick out of watching them on the behind the scenes featurettes. The excitement of the past few days proved too much for Andrew because he passed out hard on the couch and ended up sleeping there the rest of the night.

Our adventures in Kentucky continue. Today we started the morning off slowly but made our way over to visit the Purrfect Day Cat Cafe. This is a place where you can go and visit with cats that are in need of adoption. You can also get snacks and drinks there as well. You can take the drinks in with you but not the snacks. I know this because I got a bag of their popcorn but couldn’t eat it until after.

Andrew in Love

There is a large open room that has big windows looking out at the street. There people can see you playing with all of the kittens. We were int he kitten room. Both of the kids loved playing with the 22 little kittens that were inside. This model has really been working for adoptions. They have over 1,100 since 2018. They have also raised a bunch of money for the Kentucky Humane Society from the tips alone.

Eva in Heaven

My sister helps out there by picking up the cats and driving them to the cafe. She’s been doing this for a while and really enjoys it. We all had a lot of fun playing with the little kittens. I had to keep remembering to watch my feet because they were everywhere.

Today were were also able to get some time in at the pool. It is a huge pool at their location and it was filled with so many kids. Our kids had a fun time and it was nice to get in and enjoy the cool water. That came in handy because it was a very warm sunny day.

Family at Fox Hollow Farms

tonight we went to Fox Hollow Farms to see a concert, have dinner from Food trucks and enjoy being outside. Eva and Andrew had a lot of fun. Eva enjoying the much and food. Andrew, by making friends and playing games with several kids his age. There were so many kids there. Andrew fell right in with them and had fun running around and chasing after them. It was a great night and we got out of there in time to avoid the major rainfall.
