I do not know who said it, but it is one of the truest statements I have ever heard. “You can pick your friends, but you cannot pick your family.” With most of our friends, there is a point in the relationship where one or both people decide that they would like to have a deeper connection with the other but with family, we don’t get that option. From the very beginning, we are given brothers and sisters and parents, with no say in the matter at all. Family knows us better than we know ourselves. They know when we are faking it, when we are upset, or when we are trying to keep a secret. They have lived with us for most of the growing part of our lives. It was a special day…getting to spend time with my sister, just she and I. We were born sisters, AND I would choose her as my friend. For so many years, anytime we have gotten together it has been with our children or about our parents, but we have never done anything just the two of us, that is, until today. Thanks Michelle, I had a great time today. 
Family Fun Centers (FFC), also known as Bullwinkles, were started over 40 years ago in a small rural town by twin brothers Jim and John Huish in college. Through hard work and dedication, FFC has developed into a growing and successful business. Great pride is taken by FFC to create an atmosphere that is both family oriented and processional. FFCs are located throughout the Northwest with locations in Wilsonville, Oregon and Tukwila, Washington. The FFC in Wilsonville opened in December of 1994, while the one in Tukwila opened in 1999. 
The fun never ends at the Wilsonville Family Fun Center! (Well, it almost never ends.) Come early and stay late! They are open all year round – rain or shine – and there are plenty of great attractions for kids – young and old. It is best described as a Chuck E Cheese for adults and seriously, the only thing missing is a bowling alley and the transformation would essentially be complete. 
The six-acre amusement park offers year-round fun for the whole family. Outside, the park offers miniature golf, go-karts, bumper boats, sling-shot, a climbing wall, and batting cages. Inside, there are two stories with over 100 arcade games, Max Flight Cyber Coaster, Lazer Xtreme, Kidopolis, and Bullwinkle’s Restaurant. Today, my inner child was extremely happy.
