I need suggestions people.

I need Casey out of the house a good 6-12 hours the day of his party, so I can cook and decorate.  The longer the better.  I've recruited a few of his friends and his brothers to accompany him, but I need to suggest some plans for them.  Any ideas? 

My first thought was tubing, but he hates that.  I don't want to send him out hiking or anything b/c then he'll be exhausted for the party.  Now I'm thinking a day trip to somewhere relatively close (1-2 hours away). 

Any suggestions for a day trip destination or any other kind of activity in the valley that can occupy that length of time?

Re: I need suggestions people.

  • What if they go to a waterpark for the day? Would he hate that too?

    He might be tired after doing that though, too. Hmmmmm....

  • He only hates tubing b/c its boring and filthy.

    I thought about a water park too.  Wet & Wild would be perfect, b/c Glendale is a good hour from us.  But it might tire him out.  Idk, it'll probably come down to that, which is fine.  Once he gets to the party I'm sure the excitement will kick in and he'll be fine.

  • Since you mentioned him going camping recently...can his friends suggest an over night "guys trip?"

    Im assuming the party is on a Saturday? Can they go Fri night to Sat afternoon...or whenever you need them back? That way you can get a lot done Friday night and Sat Morning?

    LOL It's actually not boring at all when you do play. I used to hate watching it but since I've starting playing, I like watching it now too. It's a great sport.

    I also thought about that, but he REALLY hated that camping trip.  When he got home from the last trip, one of the first things he said to me was, "Never again!"  lol

  • I've always wanted to try to golf! My brother, dad and grandfather all golf. And Mike does (or at least he used to, although he doesn't much out here). I just need to find somebody very patient who can teach me and won't mind searching all over creation for lost golf balls.

    hahaha It's fun when you get into it. I'm still not very good and wouldn't be a good teacher but we should go out sometime after Mr. Ryan comes. It'd be fun and funny! hehe

    @Sommer...yes, we should have a golf GTG
