I forgot to take pictures and stole these off google. So the first one is the ropes course. It is very very high off the ground and the picture does not show how scary it is. The fist time we came here Calista did not weigh enough but I guess this time she did because they gave her the wrist band that was the same as mine and the older kids. So I took her straight to the top. She was so brave and did amazing. She did get scared after a couple obstacles so we went back down to level one and worked our way back to the top. She ended up doing the hardest level with no problem. It was quite a big deal because even some of the older kids in our family did not enjoy it up there.
The rock climbing area had a lot of options.
Ball pit/trampoline area.
Free fall slide with the jungle gym.
I had to post this picture because I am so proud of myself for doing it. You have to walk on top of these skyscrapers without holding onto anything. The top one is the hardest because you don't even have the next one in front of you to grab onto. It is also very wiggly and extremely high. It looks so easy but it really is not. Last time I came I made it to the top but I could only lay on the top one. Stepping up onto it without anything to hold onto was just too much.
At the end of it we were given 10 coins each to gamble. I guess it was part of our entrance fee. Not real money but Round 1 money used on the slot machines. I ended up investing in that game where you drop in quarter after quarter hoping it makes more quarters fall down. I won. Soon the kids joined me and we kept winning. We all wanted to go home and was going to once our quarters ran out, but it just didn't happen. We got way to into it. We seriously spent a long time doing it and then just left with the fake money in our pockets and went home.

This time I just did it in-spite of my fears and stood on the top one. It was exciting. I had to stand there for way longer than I wanted to shouting at Calista to look. I wanted someone I knew to at least see me and she was the only one around.
We were exhausted after Nobolt, but Tucker had been asking to go to Round 1 and I hate driving up to Fukuoka all the time so we headed over.
It was so crazy in there! Basically it was so loud and was full of video games. It also had a sports area where you could use a batting cage and plenty of different things to do. It was a lot to handle after our already busy morning.
I hate how video games and Manga objectify women. People think it doesn't matter but it does. Beatrix played this game for about ten seconds and was already trying to pose like the girl on it. What kind of message is she getting when she see women depicted that way? It makes me want to throw up.
It was after 7 by the time we left and we needed to shop for dinner the next night because we invited people over. After that we were still about two hours away from home. I really think it was too much for everyone because while in the car Beatrix was saying she didn't feel well. Then she started saying she was going to throw up. My kids do not normally get car sick and throw up but I had been keeping one bag in the seat pocket behind the drivers seat for this exact situation for years now. Part of me felt happy and so smart that we were going to need that bag I put there. I handed Beatrix the bag and she promptly started throwing up into it.
The next thing I knew Leon started saying he was going to throw up. I looked at Beatrix and thought about handing him the same bag but it was just too gross. She even got some throw up on the outside of the bag. Then I remembered that we had groceries in the back. I shouted at the kids to get a bag and Scarlett rushed to action. She turned around and started throwing the groceries out of a bag. Leon literally threw up in the bag the second after she gave it to him. He must have been holding it back somehow. We still had over an hour to go on our drive home and the car smelled so bad after that.
It was such a fun day. We all had a blast and even the two who were throwing up didn't regret it.
