Emma's birthday part 3

Wow, part 3 of a birthday, talk about spoiled. So on Emma's actual birthday Quinn left work early to take us to Boondocks. We have had a gift card floating around the house for several years now and finally decided that Emma's birthday was a good time to use it. The kids had a blast playing mini golf and actually lasted through 14 of the short 18 holes. It was really funny to watch Emma try the do it right the first couple of tries and then get tired and just pick up her ball and set it by the hole and hit it in. James was no dummy either he did the same thing. Quinn and I had fun hitting around the kids and they became the obstacle course.

Next we headed inside to the game and playland area. The kids ran and around until they were good and tired. Quinn won lots of tickets and got the kids each a toy. I think Emma had a great birthday.

We have scarred him for life. This thing is barely moving.

Save me Mommy!
