Mini Golf

 So almost a month ago we took the kids to go mini-golfing.  Yes apparently we are crazy. I thought the kids would at least kind of be able to do it, but I way overestimated their gross motor skills.  Except Gem she could at least hit the ball like a golf ball.  We kept trying to show Levi how to hit it, but he was having none of it.  He would sort of tap it once and then pick the ball up and put it in the hole.  June would scoot her ball down the whole way with the club and then scoot it right into the hole.  And Luke understood the game really quickly, it only took one hole and then he was picking up any ball he could find and putting it into any hole he could find.

The kids all had a blast though.  Especially because in the arcade Tyler spun the big wheel (like on wheel of fortune) and won them 1,000 tickets.  That's right 1,000 tickets, I am not exaggerating when I say it took ten minutes for the machine to spit out that many tickets.  It was insane.  So everyone was able to go home with the prize of their choosing.  It was a fun time.

Gem's songs at her recital


I had a piano recital a couple of weeks ago for all my students.  I must say I am glad it is over (It is much more stressful to plan a recital than to just go to one).   Here are Gem's songs, she did pretty well.
