Mini Golf Outting

On a recent weekend we were looking for something to do outside that wouldn't take too long - it was hot and it looked like a big storm was coming. I suggested trying out miniature golf. We got our putters, balls and headed to the first hole. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a big success but it did get us out of the house and I can laugh at it now.

AJ tended to push the ball around and then pick it up to place it in the hole or the tunnels to the green. Pete got frustrated on the 4th hole and threw his club. Note the scorecard picture - I quit keeping score! :-)

Morning at the Park

AJ took his Aunties and Gramma to one of his favorite places in the neighborhood - the park behind the old stone house. He showed them the swings, the climbing equipment, slides and took a little walk down the bike path.

Final Birthday Hoopla

( It's been such a fun and busy summer I think it will take me a while to catch up to real time on the pictures and posts!)

Late in July the Ledger girls and the Sarikas clan came to visit as part of AJ's final birthday celebration. We really enjoyed having everyone here to visit. AJ got a ridiculous amount of attention and love. The highlight of the weekend was the Pirate themed party complete with a yummy cake decorated by Auntie Megs.

Slurpee Makes Everything Better

Tuesday was a rough day all around - long day at work for Mommy and a rough time for AJ too. He didn't want to leave his buddies at school or get in the car to come home. I got him in his seat and he was a mad little man, yelling and fussing.

I called Gramma on the cell and she had the answer....stop for a slurpee. Just the mention changed the mood in the car. We picked up two of the smallest slurpees they sell and everyone felt better. Probably the best $2 I have spent in a long time!
