Mini-Vacation
Over the Labour Day weekend, the family took a quick mini-vacation up to Alexandria to lounge around in the Arrowwood Resort. There are several all-inclusive packages, which is nice and ends up being a lot cheaper than Wisconsin Dells.
It was a pretty nice mini-vacation: Saturday was spent scaring everyone else on the lake with our crazy pontoon driving skills, but at least no-one was maimed
.
On Sunday, my (older) nephew decided to be very brave and take me and my niece golfing for the first time
.
Needless to say, it was quite an experience; for both him and us. We had made it through eight holes when we were greeted by a torrential downpour -- thank god for those golf carts!

I think there was a VERY important piece of information left out of this wonderfully "general" update! What about the "tree hugging" you did in the rain. Or on the first mini-vacation, the "nap" you took on the mini golf course. That should have been the first indication that you found golf a tad bit boring...or maybe mini-golf is a waste of your time since you didn't want to leave the golf course (even in the torrential rain storm). But, hey, we got a free game right??? I can only hope our next trip will be as exciting!!!
