As you know, we were rained out last week for the teen group. It was great that so many of you could come to this one. Your kids appeared to look forward to enjoy this particular community activity. They were excited to be at laser tag. Only a couple of them were a little bit affected by the noises and sounds and darkness, but they were able to recover. One child, CM, at first wanted to read a magazine and sit out after participating one time. However, she was persuaded to just walk around. Once she began walking around, she said she was glad she had done so, but it did take a considerable amount of persuasion to get her not to sit out the second time. Otherwise, the kids were good-natured. They were as well-behaved, I think, as any other group that you would see at laser tag.
Dinner went similarly smoothly. We walked down the street to Hamburger Hamlet. The kids appeared to enjoy themselves, although they were a little bit disappointed that they couldn't order the $23 rib special. I explained to them that they could do that another time at Tony Roma's or when we barbeque.
In all, it was a nice time, and no particular problems were noted. It went smoothly, and so thank you. I look forward to seeing you and your kids next time for our regular group meeting. We are now back on the first and third week of the month as usual. Take care. -- Bruce
