Fun at Golfland

The official start of Ella's spring break, Monday, GOLFLAND!
You know that place in Mesa that you can see right off the 60 that's really old. Like Ryan remembers it from when he was a little kid and kind of thinking it was old, yep, that's where we went and it was actually a lot of fun!

Ella was really good, except when she would swing the club way up into the air and we would all back up and duck. {No one was ever severely injured.} Jack had never been mini golfing, he didn't really get it. Other then the ball needed to go in the whole. Even if it wasn't our ball. He would run over to OTHER families and take their balls and run and put them into the hole. Sheesh.



Ryan tried teaching Ella the rules and how to putt!
She would get so excited and yell, "mom, I got a 9!"
We each got one hole in 1!


He totally figured it out, why try and hit the tiny ball with the club when you can just pick it up and throw it where you want it to go!?
Although it wasn't as fun after he got his hand stuck under the little door.

He thought he was such a smartie pants.
I think it's time to let go of the passy.




Yep, Ryan actually took a couple of shots of me.





It was pretty hot that day. Over 80 degrees! We were all dying of thirst the whole time. The time has come yet again to carry water bottles around wherever we go again.








Ella has liked taking more pictures. She always tries to OVER direct though, until we are saying... just take the picture already!


See, this place was OLD.
What a goof!!






Where is Jack!? Oh, climbing a really high slippery rock wall. Typical.

Ryan thought that people would think that Ella was being racist and told her to stop posing like that.


On the last hole we look over and Jack's just sitting on the hole in one. Ryan thought that was so funny! Ryan was still laughing about it when we look over and there is Jack with his pants and diaper down sitting on it like a potty, trying to get his hole in one! Now you get it? Others saw, others laughed. What a stinker!


Then it was off to the races! Jack was VERY disappointed that he couldn't go. You had to be 3... so sad.
Ella had a lot of fun! Ryan looked so serious but was having fun too, it's hard trying to kick the butts of a bunch of 12 year old kids!

Another shot from Ella.
I took Ella on the bumper boats, bad idea. It made me so sick, all the spinning around and around. I had told her that she could drive it the whole time, but by the end I had to or I was going to be sick. It was a lot of fun though, Ella LOVED crashing into people and slashing them!


Ella's yells "hey mom, watch me, I can be just like Mowgli!" Sure enough.

Then the kids just played forever in this huge playground. Jack was a little shy at first. We didn't see Ella most of the time, she was having too much fun with all of her new friends. We would hear her say "you can be in my club" or "let's run from the boys"! I LOVE that she's so outgoing and friendly! She makes friends wherever she goes!
It was so hot we went and got some ice cream. Jack was being so funny! I love all of his facial expressions!
It was a fun first real day of vacation!
More fun to come!!!!

Looks like our Trafalga but your stuff actually works. Jack is a little stinker, but a very cute one. I love all his poses he is getting just as good as ELLA.
