First Family Outting

So on Sunday 1/30/07 we decided we finally needed some air and so did all three kids.
Trying to find something that would interest 3 out of five of us, we settled on miniature golf at Mulligan's family center in Torrance.

Bearing in mind, we made this decision at 9am. Somewhere around 9:30am Cary says to me, "so we'll leave at 10am?" At this point I look at him with my hair in a bun, pajama clad while making pancakes and a fresh bottle for Sydney, chuckle and reply "no dear, that was when we had two kids, plus we are waiting for our Vons.com delivery so let's shoot for 1pm."

'Oh", he said, "okay".

Wouldn't you know it that murphy's law for the first time ever, Vons delivered at 2pm instead of 11am like they were supposed by which point we are all now hungry, cranky yet still determined for our outting as at this point we have been waiting all day.

2:18pm we are finally in the car and on our way!!! Once we arrive, the priority is food as we are about to devour each other. Fortunately the chicken strips and grilled chicken sandwich we shared was hot, fresh and beyond delicious so we devoured that and were ready for some golfing. Unfortunately poor Shelby had two mini meltdowns as at this point she really should have been napping rather than anything else.

The girls thoroughly enjoyed the golf and it was tears when we had to leave. Sydney slept peacefully wrapped to my chest and the setting was ideal as it wasn't too crowded and we were outside.

It was very surreal seeing three kids in three car seats all at once and Cary and I just kept smiling goofily at each other. Our life is finally starting again :)
