Kalinda's Birthday

What do you get the girl who has everything....? ok not everything but lots of things.... answer: A night out.  But that requires a baby sitter.    Ahh Check.. got that figured out. Lydia Burgess, she can drive. and she brought a huge bag of garden items.
What can be done in Cold Lake on a week night/ school night.. Ahh
Lets try an escape room. And dinner. 
Kalinda is so keen on using her new bike that we had to bike around for the evening. 
Stop 1: Dinner at OJs. Ok this means sweet potato fries and dill dip no question, followed by 3 or 4 other appetizers... all of which were delicious.

Stop 2: Off to the escape room... Our friends the Ellis showed up to help add fun to the night. The owner, who opened up shop for us, because he had nothing else going, on was super awesome and he showed us all 4 rooms and  gave us the chance to choose. We had to choose "Violet's Room"


Violet and her family disappeared decades ago from their home, and the mystery continues to haunt the town. How did they vanish without a trace that fateful night and who or WHAT was responsible? Many feel the answer lies right here in Violets room, but it was locked for fear it will curse any who enter. Visitors flock from far and wide to attempt to unveil the mystery, to lift the curse of Violets room once and for all.



It was so well done up with very creepy props and trap doors, latch's, hidden doors, black light effects.  it was awesome. We had a blast, but we needed some hints to help us get going.  There were some very tricky items to figure out. Good exercise for the brain. Cant wait to go again.
