Go Karts and Putt Putt

-
On our last full day of vacation it had warmed back up enough to go to the beach. The weather was perfect, there were no jelly fish and best of all - Pa was able to play with us.














After lunch we took the boys to play putt and drive Go-Karts.  Pa was able to fly in the night before so he and Gran were able to play with us too.

Let me just say that playing Putt-Putt with Will was fun to watch - but frustrating for the boys.  At first Will wanted to actually play.  He did his best with the putter.





Then he realized that it was way easier to wait until Finn and Sam putted the ball into the hole and then go get their balls.  This upset both Finn and Sam greatly.


It was also surprisingly hot - so the heat made Will's usually "sunny" (note the sarcasm) even worse.



After we were finished with putt-putt, Michael took the boys over to see the gorilla.  Will was very uneasy.






Then it was time to ride go-carts.  Sam did not get to drive the last time, so he was pumped to drive on the Junior track. 






Then Finn drove on the mid-level track. Sam ran along side him the whole time. 





Will pretended to drive the stationary Batman car. 


Before leaving, Michael, Sam, Finn and Pa rode the big Go-Karts.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl tights to wear under his costume
