Since I took the kids to Fairmount Glen last week they, especially Patrick, have become obsessed with mini-golf. While I was getting ready for dinner and putting the groceries away on Monday the kids made their own mini-golf course. I was invited to play and think I won, although Patrick will tell you differently. I believe it was 7 holes, all made with things from around the house like the kitchen stool, things from the recycle bin, Dad's boots, and cones. The hole was from Gator Golf........my club too. And I still won!
Tuesday was an easy day. The kids had rec and Liz had tennis. It was so HOT but she hung in there!
Wednesday I took the kids to Thunder Island. Mark and Amy took Sarah Jane and Will, just by coincidence, which was a great surprise for the kids. We started off by playing their mini-golf course. I defeated Patrick......he'll tell you it was his worst round ever! Then the kids had fun playing in the kiddi pool, laying in the lazy river, and going down the water slides. Amy and I rode back with all the kids and had ice cream for dinner. Only ok in the summer.

It was a fun place, better than I expected.
I watched Will and Sarah for a bit Thursday morning. The kids were so cute looking at old photo albums and talking about them like they were 60 years old! Pat went to the Jordan pool again on Thursday after rec and went off the high dive. Liz and I went to the library where she made two crafts, a genie in a bottle and a firefly, played on the computer and of course, checked out books. And a Hanna Montana movie! Liz did great at her last tennis lesson too!
Liz got a surprise on Friday after rec.................I found great roller skates at a garage sale. She LOVES them!
Pat called me outside on Friday to show me this............his way of getting to the rim. Awesome. There is a rock on top of the little chair, for just enough height. Oh boy.
We hung out at Mark and Amy's on Friday night. The kids were in all their glory playing with all the neighborhood kids. The ran all over, roasted marshmallow's and caught frogs from the pond.
Pat played basketball forever. He hung in there great with guys going into 7th grade! Saturday was another busy day. Will's birthday party was in the early afternoon. After Will's party we ran out to Cicero for Leah and Davis's party. Aunt Heather had invited the kids to spend the night so after the party they all had a campout in the backyard, and mom and dad had a fun date. Thanks Aunt Heather! All in all, another awesome week!
