Funny Faces, Farmer's Market and Fort Fun

The movie on Saturday night was a huge hit! While many parts of the plot were a bit hokey and the acting wasn't all that stellar, the 3-D effects were awesome! 3-D has come a long way, baby! The 3-D glasses weren't too shabby either. Check 'em out:

Lookin' good people, lookin' good!

Predictably, Chris refused to participate in the 3-D glasses pics. At 14, he doesn't see the humor in goofing off and looking weird in public, even when he's in a town where the only people who would recognize him are the ones being goof balls. He did agree to wear the glasses in the dark (very dark) movie theater in order to appreciate the 3-D effects, then took them off before the ending credits started to roll. ;)

Yesterday was spent having brunch at a local restaurant, picking up some good deals (peaches, peppers and cantaloupe) at the Farmer's Market, then heading to Fort Fun for some laughs. I think it's safe to say that everyone had a great time!

First, a little Mini-Golf madness:

Monkey see, monkey do.

After mini-golf, we all split up to frequent our favorite haunts. John took the kids over to the Go-Karts track to wait for over an hour for a chance to ride. Mom and I headed back inside for a little 'Deal or No Deal!' fun.

Beginner's Luck! We didn't win the Big One, but we came mighty close.

Two words. Ticket. Fever. :)

Sadly, I missed getting video or pics of the great time everyone else was having on the Go-Karts. I was far too busy gambl... I mean playing games in the arcade with Grandma Lou. Our beginner's luck at 'Deal or No Deal!' didn't last for long, but it sure made the afternoon fun!

Next up was bumper cars, bumper boats, mini bowling, the giant slide, the batting cages, the...
Well, you get the idea. There's no end to the things you can waste money on at Fort Fun. Really.

Joy!

Synchronized sliding, a new Olympic event!

This may be my best picture ever of Sean Douglas.
He usually makes you work for a glimpse under that hat...

After a fun-filled, jam-packed day, it was time to go home and make some supper with all the goodies we picked up at the Farmer's Market. We made grilled hamburgers with all the fixin's and paired them up with the best produce ever. Cantaloupe, watermelon, fresh sliced tomatoes, peaches straight off the tree and corn on the cob. Can you say YUM YUM??? I don't remember a single thing after supper time.
