The one thing the triplets {J, O & S} did ask to do for their birthday, was go to the ‘Awful-Awful Milkshake place’, (that’s ‘awfully thick and awfully good) and mini-golfing, next door to that. It’s down on the Cape, where we love to go in the warmer seasons anyway.
So that’s what we did.
One of our favorite parts of this course, is the rock cave.
I always wonder if we’ll run into the Flintstone Family when we pass through. lol More than that, I fear Dino is going to come out of nowhere, jump on me, knock me down, and lick my face, like he does to Fred. I wouldn’t like that at all. Trust me.
There’s also a simulated plane crash, : (, and a waterfall. There’s no bodies to be seen, so we happily assume everyone walked away, without a scratch. That works for us.
Some nice man offered to take our photo together, as a family. I am NEVER in the photos, as you know. So I immediately agreed. I had my big SLR with me (I just can’t deal with point & shoots yet), and he chuckled at me a little when he took the camera, and I put the strap around his neck. ; ) In other words, ‘You seem to me be an awfully nice man. But that doesn’t mean that I trust you not to drop this.’. I think he understood what I wasn’t saying. I set the camera (in his hands) for him, and took my place.
Of course, he didn’t realize I had the camera set to take multiple exposures, if you hold the shutter down, and I didn’t think to tell him. So….he kept holding down the shudder (being used to a point and shoot, probably), and so we got 5 or 6 photos that look exactly like this one. lol
When we finished our game, we returned our clubs and ordered our milkshakes.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US CHEERS!!”
A BIG BIRTHDAY HUG.
Now, if I was going to boast, I’d probably tell you how I got 4 (FOUR!) hole-in-ones, while playing this game with my family. But, you know, bragging has just never been my style. I’m a humble girl. ; )
That should wrap up our birthday celebrations for these three! Can’t believe it took so long. It’s Autumn now! (And almost time for mine!) Hope you enjoyed the posts!
The kids looked like they had so much fun! A few weeks ago we had an exchange student staying with us, so one day for something to do we went to the same golf course. She had so much fun there, and so did we!
Great shots!
We have a place like that near us, but this one looks way more fun! Love the Flintstone cave. My boys would have a blast there.
It looked like a great time! Love the family picture.
Love the family photo! I finally bought a camera strap today 🙂
Those toothless grins are simply the best! Glad you all had a wonderful time. Kim
What fun! I bet you were a titch nervous having a stranger hold your camera.
