A weekend

I don't know if this type of blog post is interesting to anyone but me, but I post it because it does help me remember that things can be and are good.

This weekend was supposed to have a lot of (you guessed it) baseball, but a rainy Saturday kept the fields puddly and left us with 48 hours of family time. C had to work on Saturday which mostly didn’t keep him busy but did keep him strapped to his computer for the day and unable to go anywhere. I am not good at keeping the kids home and not worrying about noise etc, so we ran a couple small errands (okay, we just went to Target) and then we visited the new ChuckECheese-alike place up the street. It was HUGE (mini-golf, rock climbing, bumper cars, bowling (not real bowling but a smaller facsimile), arcade, a mid-air ropes course, laser tag … it’s in an old grocery store and it takes up the entire place. 

 

It was fun – we all played a round of mini golf, Spencer bowled, the kids played a couple games of air hockey and Henry and I played some arcade games. Money goes fast in those places though, so we filled up the rest of the day with console video games at home and Spencer finished building his AT-AT.

 

Sunday was beautiful – the forecast kept threatening rain, but it never came. We spent the day at the Magic Kingdom and we did way more than usual – rode more rides, watched more shows, had great fun. 

 

A couple behavior problems if I’m being honest, but what day doesn’t have random crises? We powered through.

This weekend was magic.
