Today we had planned to go to the beach. However, my 4 year old decided she didn't want to go to the beach, instead she wanted to go play "mini golf" at Frankie's Fun Park. So instead of driving an hour and a half each way to the beach for a day of fun in the sun, we went for an hour of putt-putt fun 15 minutes away.
Emmie is becoming quite the putt-putt champ. She balances that golf ball on the little dot in a rubber square. She lines her feet up just right. Then she gets her hands set with her thumbs lined up. She pulls the club back and lets it fly. Then ball rolls backwards towards the hole we just finished. Ahh yes, putt-putt with a four year old. It is amazing that she can hit a hole in one on one hole and more than ten strokes and picking up the ball and moving it on the next.
We finished the day with a couple of frosty ones at the 19th hole. Nothing like a frozen Coke after 32 holes of golf.
Afterwards Emmie wanted to "go do something else that's fun". So we went to Pets Inc. It's a shelter for dogs and cats. She asked me what a "shelter" is. I had a tough time explaining it to her. I told her it was for animals who did not have families but needed them. People bring their puppies and dogs and kitties that they cannot keep to the shelter so that another family can adopt them and take them home. She said "It's kind of like an orphanage for puppies and kitties, right mom?". I had to agree. All I can say is that it is a good thing they did not have any small dogs. All the dogs they had were large breed dogs or we probably would have come home with one. Emmie thought she found a little one she wanted but it was a puppy with HUGE feet. I explained that he was a baby and when he was done growing he would be as big as another dog we saw. She said "Oh no! We are not taking a horse dog home. He will probably eat our kitty!" Where she got that I have no idea.
