Well..Tom and I got our much needed break. We had a little time away from everything, even Kira. Tom and I went to the Dells last week and had a great time. We were only there for a few days but had a great time and kept ourselves constantly going! :-) We got there on Tuesday after dropping Kira off with my parents in Albert Lea. It was a sad seperation for Kira and myself, but we both made it. On Tuesday when we got there we went on some Jet Boats that went really fast around this lake area but also had some slow time to show us some awesome rock formations. It was a lot of fun. Normally you get really wet on these things but we were actually 2 of 5 people on the boat, so the boat wasn't weighed down too much so we didn't get wet a whole lot. It was really nice and a ton of fun! After our boat ride we went mini-golfing at Pirates Cove Mini Golf. I'm happy to say that I beat Tom in a round of mini-golf, never mind the fact that he beat me the second time around. I was pretty proud of myself though! We had a good time at that too! :-) Then we went out for supper....Mmm....Pedros! We went to Pedro's Mexican Restaurant and it was SSOOO good! I ate way too much as usual but thats okay! Then we decided that we weren't quite done for the day and went bowling late that night too. And in and amongst all this we did some shopping too. Then on Wednesday we had reservations at a absolutely awesome golf resort near the Dells. It was about 20 minutes away, so we left for that and was very pleased with what we were getting ourselves into. We pulled up and it was one of those wow factors. It was pretty awesome. We got out of the car and just kind of stood there because we were a little intimiated by our surroundings because we were used to Albert Lea courses and the small Clarks Grove courses....no, this was a real course! We met Tom's brother and his wife there and all golfed 18 holes together. The holes were incredibly hard and very long. The golf course was made up of a bunch of replica holes of some PGA courses. It had the famous Island Hole course that many of you may have heard of. It was pretty awesome to see. Unfortunately, I over shot the hole and went into the lake and didn't make it on the Island. :-( But Tom on the other hand did!!!! He even got par on the hole!! I was very proud of him because it was quite the course to golf on! He made par on a few others too, while I didn't do as well. I didn't do terrible, but not great. I had a lot of fun taking turns driving the golf cart too!! The golf cart was pretty awesome, it had a GPS system and always told you where your ball was and how far you were from the hole, it had a menu ordering system from the golf cart (then they have people bring the food out to your cart), and goodness...it was pretty awesome. We're hopefully going to plan another trip there next year. Just enough for me to brush up on my golfing skills!!! :-D
Tom's softball season officially ends tonight. It's sad to see another season end. :-( Kira and I really enjoy going to his games! There's always next year!!!!!! Although softball is ending, volleyball will be starting up in the near future!! Normally I would play volleyball with them but obviously can't because of the pregnancy. Tom and the rest of our team will be playing and we'll be there to cheer them on.
Isn't it crazy how fast the seasons are changing!! I felt like just yesterday it was still 85 degrees and now it's in the low 60's! I don't mind the cooler weather but it definately lets us know winter is on the way. Woo Hoo for snow!! :-)
Well, it's been real! Thats all I got for now! I'm really going to try to get better at blogging more, it's good fun!
