I’ll try to break it to him gently that he should have tried gymnastics. Minigolf clearly favors the elderly.

Litlove, We did. And I hope your own break is a restorative one.

The Lazy S is wonderful. It also owned by my mother-in-law, so if you stay there, you will be identified as My Friend, which might actually entitle you to, say, a better than average ping pong paddle.

Oh, i’d like to say, however, that no one would play Bananagrams with me, because i always win, and so we had to make do with mini-golf and a few games of ping pong, which on the whole, wasn’t bad.

Debby, Then you will have to jump in the cold water with them. I will take a picture from dry land.

Marie, I think I did Canada proud.

Your vacay sounds like so much fun, especially the jumping into cold water. Your boys are lucky to have such a place to go, and to have a Dad who loves Tahoe and wants to share it with them. I had to laugh about your comments about watching the Olympics though. I just talked to AG the other day, and she was telling me how she thought beach volleyball was silly, and how she didn’t think it should be an Olympic sport. Funny. They just got back from Italy, where their kids were none too pleased to have to watch the Olympics in Italian (and with the emphasis on Italian athletes~are there any?). Anyway, I can’t wait to spend some time at the Lazy S, perhaps next year. I remember seeing it last summer when we were in Tahoe; if I had know it was W’s family, I would have stopped by.
I’m so glad to hear you’ve had a lovely vacation. It sounds fun. Even the jumping into cold water! ESPECIALLY jumping into the cold water.
Hi to all and xoxoxo to you, Debs

Sounds like a WONDERFUL vacation — I hope it was all you needed. xo

i wish you hadn’t mentioned canada winning. i’m returning from a week in canada with the in-laws, who insisted upon watching canadian tv olympics coverage. which means: canada wins a bronze in synchronized nose picking! wall-to-wall coverage of the canadian synchronized nose-picking team! 500 replays! 50 versions of watching the bronze medalists get their bronze medal!

i’m just jealous because i love mini-golf and i spent the week hunkered over my computer.

The trouble is that we are very, very competitive, and every single one of us had a meltdown (well, not my husband) while playing. When it took me six shots to get the ball into the hole on the Old Woman in the Shoe hole, I was really beside myself. Fortunately, the family right behind us was even worse, with a lot of screaming and throwing of bodies to the ground and feet kicking. Well, maybe they weren’t even worse. Their children, after all, were six and four and we are a family of 13, 13, and (nearly) 9. Not to mention me: a Grown Woman.
