It rained all day Friday. We had just one activity but it was a doozy. We spent 5 hours at the Science Center. Fortunately we were able to walk when the rain wasn’t heavy. B & E hadn’t seen the Science Center since they were tots. We all had a good time playing with the exhibits. As usual, I slept through the planetarium presentation. The pictures show them making jigsaw puzzles. The ride home was exceptionally slow, thanks to the weather. We had lasagna for dinner. Danita was smart. She used two smaller pans and froze one. So actually we had half a lasagna for dinner. I won’t say how much the kids liked it, but I will say there was one small piece left at the end of dinner.
Saturday it was time for the kids to go home. We went to the Rocky Gorge mini-golf. This outdoor course opened not too long ago, but it is actually a very old course. It had been closed for quite a while. Somebody bought it and repainted. The unique thing about this course is the original owner didn’t buy any of the hazards and decorations. He built everything himself from scratch. It is a fun course, including the last hole, billed as “The world’s longest mini-golf hole”. I believe it. Balls roll down a long, curved, banked hill. Everybody gets their ball to the bottom of the hill in one stroke. We had two holes-in-one this time. Both Nana and Bryon got one. In addition, Nana hit Bryon’s ball on one hole and knocked Bryon’s ball into the cup. Bryon got that hole in one stroke, but it wasn’t a hole-in-one. Unfortunately, there was no reward for the extraordinary display of golfing prowess. It was time to go home, clean up, pack up, and get ready for the flight home.
Everybody had a great time, bla bla bla. But wait! There’s more! The plane was delayed. The flight scheduled to leave at 7:15 actually left at 10. Here are some pics. Bryon isn’t in the golf pic because he was miffed. He kept on walking on the walls. It’s an old golf course. Walking on walls was definitely not the best idea. After asking him 3 times to stop, he did it again. So I reminded him in a more vigorous manner. Overall, the kids were on their best behavior and we really did all have a great time.
I hope this finds you doing well.
