On Friday, Greg came home from work early and we decided to all go to see a movie. The second-run theater in Madison was still playing "Night at the Museum 2," so for $10, all four of us were in. Then we spent $11.50 on the biggest popcorn bucket I've ever seen and a matching soda. As Greg said, "I like a soda you can land a jet ski in."
So off we went to the movie, which was fine, except that Julia drank too much lemonade and she absolutely had to go to the bathroom during the climatic fight scene with the bad guy. Greg took her; thank you, honey! The movie itself was fine, but I liked the first one better (no surprise, there).
Afterward, we got some burgers at Burger King and then headed off to play mini-golf. It was a weird weather evening--it rained for a good part of the day but it had stopped by this time. Instead it was very, very humid, cool, and felt like it was misting, even though it wasn't actually doing anything rain-wise. As a result, we were the only family on our golf course.
The first hole required you to putt your golf ball into a tube, which took your ball down a steep hill and then hopefully near the hole and not into the water feature. Oops, so much for that hope. It became clear very quickly that it didn't make sense for us to keep score. Both the girls decided that it was easier to guide their golf balls to the hole with their clubs than to actually hit the ball. And none of us could seem to avoid the water features. And a couple of our balls didn't float, so we all ended up sticking our hands into ponds of dubious origin (we kept telling ourselves it was just rainwater).
On the third hole, Julia had to go the bathroom again, and then she had to go again on the fourteenth. When we tried to make her wait, that didn't work out. All in all, it was a funny, aggravating, frustrating, and hilarious family evening. Until we got home, bathed Julia, got the kids to bed, and Allie proceeded to throw up twice.
Just another fun night in the Lee household!
