Wednesday night was supposed to be Chris' last night home before his 4.5 month deployment so we set out for some family fun. Turned out the ship had some problem leaving, so Chris' flight to it got pushed back a day, so he didn't leave until this afternoon. Still we made the best of Family night at the local miniature golf place -- Adventure Park.
Clara and I got on the bumper boats. Jonathan wasn't quite old enough or tall enough. You had to be 3 years old and 40" tall. We were willing to say he was 3, but there was no way to fudge the height requirements. The poor guy stood against the wall where they had their ruler and then stood up on his tippy toes to be tall enough -- it was heartbreaking to tell him no. He handled it alright with the bumper boats, esp once he saw my lack of driving skills, but once he saw Daddy on the Go Kart he got a little upset.
Chris laughed that some nice girl about 10 yrs old, took pity on me and the fact that I was only going in circles and pulled up alongside me to give me a tutorial on how to drive the thing. It was that bad!
Strapping in to the Go Kart!
Clara had a blast with Chris driving.
Next, an activity we could all do -- Goofy Golf!
Clara feigned paying attention, while Jonathan saw no point in wasting time with golf clubs when you can just throw the ball in the hole with your hands!
At every hole, Jonathan went straight the end and set his ball down about a foot away from the hole and then tried to hit it in. I don't think he understood why the rest of us started so far away!
Whatever makes them happy, I guess!
