Something NOT on the List!

Saturday, June 23rd

Today we tried something new, actually 2 new things. Go-karts & bumper boats.

The boys loved both of them. Joe said he liked the bumper boats better. Personally I think he said that because he could see over the boat's steering wheel but not the kart's that well. Becca liked the boats but not so much the go-karts. She didn't go on for their second ride.

This was surprisingly not on our list of 101 Summer Things to Do. Oh but it will be going on next year's!

#32- Go to the drive-in

At night

Saturday night at the drive-in. What a great way to spend a summer's evening. We were going to go Friday night but then the thunderstorms rolled through. I'm so glad we waited until Saturday night. The weather was much cooler. (66 degrees on the ride home.) It was more comfortable sitting out in our lawn chairs. Of course, the children were snuggled up tight in the five fuzzy blankets and every pillow we own,

By the way this is NOT a crooked photo. Our screen had a steep slope to it. John isn't just leaning to his left to be in the photo. Nope, he had to lean that way or risk tumbling down the hill, plowing down lawn chairs & flattening small children alike. I braced my chair up against the right side of the car, I wasn't going anywhere.

We saw Madagascar 3. It was cute, just as cute as the first two. We all came home singing, "Afro circus, afro circus, polka dot, polka dot, afro!"
