On Tuesday, after the kids' dentist appointment, we went miniature golfing. After hunting around and finding most places charge $7/person, regardless of age, I found Classic Golf nearby that only charged $4 for kids 4-12 and only $1 for kids under 4, and I had a bogo coupon. So we took the kids golfing for only $5! This turned out to be such a big hit, James has been asking to do it again about 5 times a day now.
Wednesday was Rex's designated day for Cub Scout camp, so I used it to do chores and things, which disappointed the kids, but not every day can be a party.
On Thursday, Grandma and Grandpa went with us to Texas Trails and Tales at the Institute of Texan Cultures. We thought it was going to be a hands-on pioneer experience for kids. It was, sort of. Youth volunteered as docents that explained the everyday life of Texan settlers. But the kids were kinda bored. They actually liked the museum better than the outdoor pioneer part. Rex and I would like to go back without the kids so we can read all the plaques and really look at the exhibits rather than race through them like the kids did. Fortunately, we happened to go on their free day and saved $30: the museum is free each month on Naturalization Day (people go there to become U.S. citizens).
