mini golfing - barnett style

this weekend was the end of stacey's week of vacation. we thought about going someplace fun, random, and spontaneous. but ... we decided instead to do a bunch of different fun things right around here. (that way the boys still have fun but we can enjoy the few hours of peace & quiet after they're asleep - not in a hotel room!! how sneaky!!) a few of the highlights were bowling at the new bowling complex, breakfast at McD's for the boys, and going to see ratatouille. today we decided it would be fun to finish the weekend off with a round of mini golf. HOWEVER ... we decided to keep alex with us. this created a whole new objective. after about hole #3 it was no longer who could get their ball in the hole in the least # of shots (which i believe i was winning!) the new goal was to try to keep alex from stealing your ball (and, try to not hit alex in the head with your putter as he attempts to steal your ball.) the game got a little long for ben. but drew enjoyed it. he's practicing up. look out big alex ... he's gonna be hot on your heels in no time!!
