Froggie's Day with Dad

Every year either for Father's Day or for Marcus' birthday we do "Froggie's Day with Dad," based on a book by the same name. The plot of the story basically is Froggie taking his dad to putt-putt. The first year we did it, Marcus was surprised! He had no idea where we were taking him! (it helped that I took the back roads to Wilsonville, so it looked like we were really lost). Now it is not a surprise but still fun.

After 10am Mass (my absence at 8:30am Mass has been resulting in rumors of my giving birth each week) we went to Burgerville for lunch. Kids and I got burgers and a strawberry shake to share, and Marcus got an interesting chicken/strawberry wrap with fried asparagus. Burgerville is so cool!


Then off to Bullwinkle's. They had a deal for Father's day, buy one get on free for all-day passes. Normally we would never be so extravagant as to get an all day pass, but I did the math and it worked out. Putt putt first:


(Gemma is barefoot because she, and Mariposa, have foot/hand/mouth disease which is a childhood virus that causes sores on the named body parts...and her poor feet were hurting with shoes on!)


Then off to the bumper boats:








Because of the all-day passes, the older kids got to take multiple turns. They were soaked!!!


Bunny and James also got to try out the rope walk:


Not many arcade games this trip but they did try this roller coaster simulator:


Happy Father's Day Marcus!
