Weekend fun!

We headed over the river and through the woods and arrived at grandma's house late (very late) last night.

Today was a planned work day in her yard. Carter and I decided to run away (aren't we terrible??) We went on a wild ride to find something fun to do, and settled on a trip to a Dave and Buster's.  It was 64 miles to get there, and 33 home.  I know...it's the new math, and mom getting used to trusting the navigation on the phone.  Oh how I miss thee, paper maps....

Anyhoo....get there we finally did.

crazy mom finally got us here!

Score!

the biggest claw ever seen...

We ate. We played. We clawed. Tickets were gathered, and prizes were won.

  We made a quick walk into thie enormous mall (must make another trip there sometime!) to find a Lego store!! This is a score! We have gone out of our way to trek to Lego stores (and had the van smashed in the process at Christmas).

But this time....it was different.  Legos: five minutes.   Here is where we had quite the adventure: The.Bass.Pro.Shop.Outdoor.World.

World of hunting, camping, guns and fishing, camo and bows and arrows. All the things we know nothing about. The boy was fascinated. He loved it all. I have no idea where this originated. We're not hunters. Or campers. We fish, but it's hit or miss.  (For the record: I will hook the worm and take fish off the hook). But guns? Nope. Ammo? Nope. Never owned a piece of camo clothing. No hunting here.

But here we are, mom and son, and we wandered and had a great time.

This one even has three seats: we'll take dad along when he's done his yardwork.....

For a last minute fandango, the boy and I had a great afternoon. 

And I have to say: the mulched yard at grandma's looks awesome!
