Staycation

On our last day of our mini staycation we decided to change our plans.  Originally we were thinking of going to the aquarium, but the boys have had either no naps, or no normal naps, and haven't been to bed on time either.  So we decided to stay in town and get normal naps and normal bedtime.  We went to Hickory Falls, a local game center.  We played mini golf, John and Landon rode go karts, and the boys played duck pin bowling.  Afterwards we had Sweet Frog ice cream as a treat, and finished the day with Chinese food. What a full and fun afternoon!

 Landon was a wild man with the club.  He nailed John pretty hard in the ribs on the first hole.  We learned to stay clear of him while he took his turn.  But he did a pretty good job.

 Will LOVED golfing.  He was a big fan of picking up the ball and putting it right next to the hole and hitting it in, or retrieving everyone's balls for them before they ever finished the hole.  But every time he hit the ball he would yell happily.  You couldn't get mad at that!

 This was Landon's favorite part of the day.  He was a huge fan and would tell daddy to hit the boost button to go faster.

 We played one round of duck pin with the boys sharing the round.  That was definitely enough time, and they both really enjoyed it.  Will would roll the ball and then yell, "go go!" and do a happy dance every time he hit the pins.  Landon wanted to take every turn and did a really good job rolling it down the lane.

The boys were allowed to pick their flavors and their toppings.  They ended up with cotton candy and vanilla ice cream and various toppings.  They were very happy with that surprise.

And to end the night, Chinese food!  We gave Landon the choice of Chinese or pizza, and this was his choice.  Will liked to pick out the peas from his fried rice and holler, "ball!" and then eat it.  

It was a great day, the boys went to bed easily and I think they will sleep soundly tonight!
