Pentwater 2012, Chapter 2:
So, there was a little bird show on day 2 of our stay.
I'm certain there was a real name for this such as
"Birds of Prey - dunh dunh dunh", but I will stick
with my bird show because it sounds more like
a show put on by birds, sorta like The Muppet's
for which I would have certainly sat front row.
Danza let Emmy drive the stroller to the show,
which was like, dude, the coolest thing ever!
Henry looked a bit more skeptical.
Everyone seemed to be watching attentively, so I busied myself
taking random photos, because this is my duty and also, no muppets.
At some point the littlest ones decided dogs trump birds. Duh.
And then Rosa just decided to run.
And run and run.
And stop for 42 slurps of water.
After the bird show, we walked over to the yacht club where
we happened upon a bunch of super tan folks wearing Sperry's and
instinctively knew
there was a sailboat race about to begin.
If there is one photo that encapsulates the spirit of Emmy - this is it. Take it in people.
At Harrison's enthusiastic suggestion, we decided to take the kids mini-golfing.
I was a little concerned about giving Rosa a metal club, because well, you never know
what a Rosa will do with a metal club, but it all worked out well and everyone had a great time.
Here is a brief but detailed instruction manual for your next
mini-golfing adventure:
First, make sure you point the club towards you to ensure the most accurate shot.
Whenever possible, try to have more than one person putting at a time.
It just makes things more interesting.
Make grand gestures of excitement when you get a good shot.
It makes other golfers jealous and throws off their game,
which is the whole point.
Stop and pose on some of the interesting scenery when
your crazy aunt insists you do. That's why it's there.
Utilize the water features for all they are worth.
Victory pose!
As long as you don't use your hands, you can totally use
any other body part to get that ball rolling.
If the course is not challenging enough for you,
create your own obstacles.
*only professionals should try this move*
If you lose your ball and nobody on staff is watching...don't tell.
Make sure your finale shot is fully appreciated by at least one
other person who can reminisce with you later.
Finally, make sure your ball really goes all the way down the hole.
Listen carefully for the "plop".
Happy putting!
Okay, enough of the nonsense.
What I'm about to show you, is highly classified.
After our golfing outing and about an hour of,
we'll call it "wind down" time
the girls finally took a nap.
Never in the history of our ownership of these people
have we ever taken a picture of them sleeping.
Why you ask?
Well, quite frankly, we are scared of them.
Here you have before you, pictures taken
moments before they were awoken from the camera flash
in a state of extreme crank.
Was it worth it?
That's debatable.
Until next time,
when there are fireworks,
parades
and Tom Izzo.
