Rockets and Fire knives

Any one in the parenting biz would probably say that it takes a lot of creativity to keep everyone entertained and happy- including the parents.
The other night we got Taj all pumped for the aquarium, but when we got there it was closed for a private party. Taj handled the news like a champ so we started to head towards Boondocks to play and reward him. You guessed it, we got turned away there too. Plan C was the Mayan. It's a restaurant, I mean adventure, designed to feel and look like you're entering a Mayan ruin, then eating in a giant tree. While you eat there are divers and fire knife performers. The pic. up top shows Taj with his fire knifes glued to the show.
Got a rocket from grandma that actually shoots into the air about thirty feet with a control panel and everything. Did I mention it's powered by water?
Hours of fun.

i so agree, it is hard to stay entertained. we go outside and do water ballons for hours at a time these days, whatever keeps em happy.
that rocket looks rad. can we come play at your house sometime?

We always wanted to go the Mayan, just wasn't sure how kid-friendly it would be! Looks like lots of fun, and that's a cool rocket, might have to get one for our children. With summer coming up, and no pool, we'll have to find other ways to be entertained. :-)

Wow, it sounds like you guys found a fun alternative. I'm telling you parenting requires you to think fast on your toes. Aubrey probably wouldn't have handled the disappointment so easily. I've been to the Mayan once. It was pretty cool. Are the lines still really crazy long to get in? I don't know if that was just when it first opened or what.
