Even before we went swimming today, we painted mugs! Each of the children now has his or her own mug - completely awesome and individual! We let them paint, then I 'fired' them in the oven and while the mugs cooled, we went swimming for the day.
After swimming, we went to check out a neat restaurant Aaron and I had heard about - Buffalo Phil's. The whole hype about Buffalo Phil's is that food (and entertainment) is delivered on electric trains that run on tracks all around the dining area. The kids really had a blast with it! Before we ate and after we ate, the trains came around with a bubble machine which had Cole all kinds of thrilled! The way we sat at the booth, Evie did most of the helping to distribute food with Lizzie providing some assistance. Aaron was in awe over the huge beams/logs that crossed the ceiling - really, massive! I loved the decor, which was a lot of antique pictures, hunting trophies, trains and train memorabilia all over. Another thing Buffalo Phil's does is brew their own sodas - and have really, fantastically, AWESOME food. Honestly, I can't say enough good about flavor and quantity! Super, super YUM!
The boys pretty much crashed into naps after the exciting morning and lunch, so the girls and I signed up for the craft the resort put on. Once we got there, I did feel a little silly to be helping the girls, since the theme of that week's craft was Mother's Day...
Still, it was nice to do something with them that they were excited about and that the boys weren't 'helping' on.
They both loved getting their feet painted to make a footprint on the craft board!
We still had some time to kill before dinner that night, so the girls pulled out another craft we'd brought from home and painted some sun-catchers. A very crafty day for us!
