last-last weekend:
we took the boys to the san francisco zoo. they had fun. we had fun. we took family photos and looked toward the camera. we saw a hippo, both in and out of the water. we got souvenir pennies. and rode a speedy little train. we stared (sort of endlessly) at a colony of peacocks and admired their confidence. we were not stalked by the snow leopard. (that part was important. the sacramento zoo snow leopard has us on its "if-i-ever-get-out-of-this-enclosure-i'm-gonna-eat-you" list.)
last weekend:
we took the boys miniature golfing. for the first time. ever.
i blame saturday's good weather. and the 7+ days of amoxicillin. combined, they created a sense of invincibility.
as the photos may indicate, we had no interest in observing the rules of miniature golf.
we did not keep score. we did not line up the ball. we sometimes swung the club like a baseball bat. we sometimes clocked our little brother in the head. we yelled into the lights that looked like megaphones.
on the bright side, we made it through all 18 holes. we did not cut into anyone else's game. we didn't throw any of the balls. we didn't recall any of the many episodes of america's funniest home videos where someone gets hit in the groin with a golf club, and try to re-enact it.
i think we get bonus credit for that last one.
and super-bonus credit because we learned something new. we forgot (temporarily) that this type of activity might be really hard for us, and we did it anyway...
so, maybe, we have a tie.
Definetly a tie!
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to the Zoo as I despise minature golf. Maybe if I got to play it the way your family does, megaphones and all, I might like it more, but the folks I roll with take it seriously. I can't take anything seriously where I have to try to whack a ball through the door or a miniature windmill...honestly.
ReplyDeletei think it could honestly be a tie.
ReplyDeletealthough, colby, i agree with you on miniature golf. in general, i am not a fan. i don't like waiting for the group in front of me, or being waited on by the people behind me.
also, as a kid, i got in trouble once at a miniature golf course for hitting my ball into another family's game, and i've never forgotten it. oh, the shame!!!
