Karla Christensen is a landscape designer and one of our alliance design members who works on our projects. She is presently living in Caragena, Columbia where her husband is working for the United Nations. Last month she sent me an email about her new found experiences playing laser tag. Here\u2019s what she said:<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving a 10-year-old\u00a0is exposing\u00a0me to a\u00a0whole new world. Last week\u00a0in Colombia\u00a0was laser tag out in a ‘what looked like’ a garbage dump of old cars and buses. Sandro and I played with five other 10-year-olds and we had a blast. My relationship\u00a0with my son\u00a0has ‘metamorphed’ into ‘my buddy mom’, complete with\u00a0shared yellow and purple bruises. This week was a cleaner indoor laser tag at Main Event in Friendswood, Texas where ten kids shot at each other on two levels connected with ramps. At the end of the party, when asked what their favorite activity was in the FEC (with bowling, arcade games, 4-D experiences, cafes, etc.,), they chose unanimously laser tag.<\/p>\n

In a world where our children are constantly alone\u00a0on their tablets, it is so important to create environments where they can have fun with each other. It can even bring mom and dad together with their son to.\u201d<\/p>\n Karla, thanks for this important insight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a world where our children are constantly alone on their tablets, it is so important to create environments where they can have fun with each other.
