Next we headed out for mini-golf, because, apparently we haven't played enough yet this trip! So we ventured north to find "that one course with the dinosaurs"... Yup, I knew just the one. So we played a round of golf with the dinosaurs... Lucky Miss Katie shot the only hole-in-one!
Then it was home for another afternoon on the beach. The waves were even bigger today! I couldn't even take the kids out as far as yesterday, as the waves there were over my head. So we stayed in the shallower waters and fought the side currents. It was so much fun but quite a work out!
Of course, we played on the beach for a little while... running, kicking, throwing, you know the drill!
Then it was the usual pool / hot tub visit. We ran into the same group of people in the hot tub that we met yesterday and the kids remembered that one of the men was celebrating his 60th birthday today. So, of course Sammy decided to sing "Happy Birthday"... in a hot tub... to a stranger... and the entire group joined in. It was actually really sweet!
After showers, we decided to get our schoolwork done for the day and eat a quick meal. We are trying to use up groceries before we head home, so the meals are getting less impressive. Katie swears she doesn't mind though!
As the sun started to set, we headed over to the Apache Pier for a walk. Of course there was lots of fun along the way.
We grabbed some ice cream for the walk back and then watched movies before bed.
It was a fabulous day. We've heard that the weather at home was miserable... rainy and unseasonably cold. It made us appreciate our weather a little more knowing that we will be returning to it very soon. The kids are definitely thinking more and more about home and asking about the time left... it won't be long now.
