Today was so much fun! We started off with mini-golf at the Treasure Island. It is a fun course with lots of steep hills to play. Bev shot a hole-in-one twice! The kids both did great! Around the 15th hole, Sammy stopped golfing as she was starting to overheat. But she made it til we finished and we all walked out together. Tyler won.
After golfing, we needed to stop for groceries, but Sammy still wasn't up to par. So we picked up Steak N Shake and I left Sammy and Bev in the van eating lunch while Tyler and I ran in for the list.
We were wrapping up in the produce section when I realized we had missed Tyler's favorite crackers. So I asked him to go grab them while I finished. But he forgot where we were meeting... and, long story short... he ended up at the van. Bev texted to let me know and I asked that he come back in. When he saw me, he instantly teared up and ran into my arms. I felt so terrible! But he handled the whole situation so well. I was really proud of him.
After we put the groceries away, we took some down time at the condo. At one point, the house phone rang and Sammy beat me to it. She had a lovely conversation with Uncle Roger... explaining we were doing Bible and were looking forward to our afternoon plans. When it was my turn to talk, I was surprised that it wasn't actually Uncle Roger, but Patrick, the lobby attendant, calling to tell me we had received a package... Oops! (Later on, we introduced Sammy to Mr Patrick so she would know who she had actually been talking too)
We called the Adema's around 2:00 pm to tell them we were ready. Sammy had requested we visit the "upside down house" today so we all headed off to WonderWorks. We had SO MUCH FUN!
We spent quite a bit of time exploring the exhibits. Both kids really seemed to enjoy it and loved showing their favorite spots to Uncle Roger, Aunt Gretchen, Grandma and Dean.
After we all finished up, we took a jet boat ride and took in the rainbow overhead.
It had been a big day, so we grabbed take out from JimmyZ and ate back at the condo. After dinner Tyler and Dean read us one of Tyler's new books (Who Would Win?) that arrived in the package earlier today.
We wrapped up the night watching a movie together that featured some pretty amazing animal facts. Tyler was pretty intrigued! The kids, Grandma, and I read a chapter of Ralph S Mouse. Then they were off to their rooms to snuggle into bed!
Today was a great day all around. Cannot wait for tomorrow!
