What to Do, What to Do???

So the boss came in today at about two o'clock and said everyone gets to go home at three o'clock. Gotta love these Federal Fridays. Kadee had been on spring break this week and I really wanted to do something fun with her but was limited because I was trying to save my time off for when Baby #3 comes along. On the way home we started planning a surprise for the kids. We decided that bowling would be fun. We got to the babysitter's and told the kids we had a surprise for them. Then started the 100 questions...where are we going, what are we doing, etc, etc...

As we headed to the SouthPoint Kadee was able to guess where we were headed. "Yeah, Bowling!" she exclaimed. They were so excited. We got up to the bowling alley only to see a sign on the counter, "No Open Bowling till 9:00 pm". Okay, that was out! We were still in the mood to do something so we thought the movies were right around the corner, we could go see Aliens vs. Monsters, we convinced our disappointed kids that this would be fun so we headed over to get our tickets. "Two adults and two children for Aliens vs. Monsters please!" The bill came up to $40. I expressed my shock to the cashier and she informed me there was an extra charge because the movie was in 3-D. Wait a minute...3-D was not going to work with Cole, he can hardly sit still through an entire movie much less wear 3-D glasses the entire time. Okay, strike two! Charlie got a refund and we started getting desperate. We promised the kids something fun and we were striking out big time. I remembered seeing Clarice's blog about their trip to the indoor miniature golf and since we have one right around the corner from the house, I thought Bingo, this should work.

So we headed over and didn't hit a single roadblock! Kadence got the hang of it right away and she even got a hole in one! There were even several witnesses that cheered for her which made her beam. She later asked me if I thought Tiger Woods had ever gotten a hole in one. I informed her that he probably had but hers was pretty special because she doesn't golf as much as he does!
Cole just wanted to pick the ball up and put it right next to the hole so he could hit it in. Mid-way through the round though I think daddy was able to convince him that he couldn't pick the ball up to move it closer to the hole! He actually had some pretty good shots once he got the hang of things.
After golf we dropped Charlie off, he was suffering from a major allergy attack! Me and the kiddos headed to Pei Wei for Crab Wontons and Asian Coconut Curry Shrimp...YUMMY! All in all it urned out to be a fun evening regardless of the roadblocks we hit at the beginning!
