Miniature golf ... Mounger-Style!

I spent an hour at a memorial service for a little 34 week fetal demise I helped deliver at work a few days ago. I got back, got the kids dressed, headed out to The Cheesecake Factory (to hell with eating good today!) and ate goooood food!

Then, we went off to play Mini Golf at Boondocks, ehr, Wahooz.
After teaching Jack how to hold his club, we were off. Jack still ended up holding it all goofy but smoked us all! He won by a landslide!!!! Then he beat his mommy at Air Hockey not only once, but TWICE!! Apparently I'm just that easy to beat.

Such a good time with them. Just wanted to spend quality time with them and remind myself just how special children are and how quickly life can change.

Lagoon Trip!

I can't quite figure out how to format this so the pictures are evenly spaced with the texts .. it's a work in progress!!

I took the kids to Lagoon in Utah last weekend - my birthday is August 9th and Jack's is August 10th. I took Camille and Jack since Andrew is with my parents on the east coast on vacation. We had such a good time - the weather was gorgeous!!!

Jack was convinced that he wanted to go on a roller coaster, so after we went on the carousel, we hopped right over to that old wooden one .. Jack was all smiles, even though I kept reminding him it was a fast ride. He was so excited and smiling so much that I thought I'd get a video of him on his first ride ever!! You can see .. he is loving it right up until he realizes that we are going up an incline .. and then he realizes that we are not only going up, but also going up HIGH! Poor kid! Okay I have to admit every time I watch this, I about pee my pants laughing!! The good news is by the time we left the park at 8pm, he had requested to go on the roller coaster two more times.

Jack's favorite ride was the same as mine - the Twirl a Whirl. Camille voted for "The Spider". I have to say that hands down, the most death defying ride for me was the skyview one .. the nice, gentle ski-lift like one that takes you over the whole park?? It was sheer terror for me! Even though I love to snowboard, I absolutely hate ski lifts. (Shuddering thinking about it again!)

The kids then discovered the games and the 'free' prizes you win .. so after spending a fortune on games for them, we called it day, left, drove to the Olive Garden for Jack's birthday dinner, went swimming at the hotel, opened presents, and crashed hard.
