Life: Idiotropic

Amidst catching up on all sorts of random things, I am trying to not bore my kids, so am making an effort to do something kinda fun each day. Here is yesterday and today.

Yesterday's fun:

Water is magic. I filled a teensie weensie baby pool with water and my three not-so-little girls all crammed themselves in and started a big water fight. Simple and fun. Then they hung upside down to dry in the sun. When we moved here two + years ago my girls were a lot smaller. Amazing how the time has flown.

Today's fun:

Met a friend for a snack at Haus Hammacher - a fairly good restaurant in Gangelt surrounded by fun things to do. The girls had chocolate ice cream in cute clown cups with cones on top like hats. Then we all piled into a little rowboat. I boated as a kid. I used to go to the lake with my dad all the time and paddle around by myself in a little inflatable kayak. Well, I sat down and grabbed the oars and was the most embarrassing uncoordinated site I think I've ever seen. The boat spun in circles and I couldn't get anywhere. Sat facing the wrong direction too. Kristi laughed at me. I think I was 13 shades of pink. So, she took over and got us to the end of the lake and back allowing all three girls to take turns rowing. Sadly, each of my little girls showed more inclination towards boating than I. Post boating we went mini-golfing there at the lamest mini-golf course ever. No grass. Ugly cement slabs for each hole. Very little creativity. No water. No moving objects. Very sad. But, I only paid 5 Euros for all 5 of us and there was no one else there, so we could skip around and redo holes. Sadly, the little ones had never mini-golfed before, so all three kept trying to pick up the ball and move it. They all hit it a gazillion times. It was humorous. But... that outing wore us out. Just across the parking lot is the most amazing pool area ever. So, that is Friday's plan. Should be fun!
