Is it gonna rain or wot?

This morning was forecast rain showers so we waited to see what the weather was going to do. Moo and I made a Beef Lasagne and a Vegetable Lasagne for dinner in case we were out later. It didn't seem to be rainy so we went out to the mini golf course (crazy golf). The staff said they looked at the radar and it wasn't going to rain so we went on the course.

19 holes, 4 people, four different coloured balls, a few hills, many strange holes, sunken boats and lots of laughs. There was some excellent putting and some downright ridiculous putting (from all of us). We let a young couple through so we didn't annoy them and then got stuck with a very loud Chinese family that ran on to our hole while we were still playing, shouting, jumping up and down. It didn't make us move any quicker though.

The scores were 66 Moo and Small, 67 Smallest and I got 63 (that's the first time I have won that, normally Small beats me).

We popped inside for an ice cream at the end and then bought our tokens for the Batting Cages. This is where the balls are thrown at you from a machine and you hit them with a metal baseball bat, wearing a helmet of course. We watched for a while and then Small went in and did his stuff, followed by Smallest. They both bat very well. Smallest had another go and Small had two more goes.

We persuaded Moo to go in but she didn't think she could hit the ball. She hit most of them. Me next. It hurt my hands but I hit most of them. We had a good time and the weather was warm and occasionally cloudy.

Back home, the sun was out so moo and I played scrabble outside whilst eating lunch. The boys watched TV and then read. The clouds came over and it got dark, then the sun came out, then it rained a few spots and we retired to the Sun Room. It rained, it clouded over and the sun came out - what a silly weather day. Codderland where Moo lives has had temperaturs of 28 there today. Whoops!

Late afternoon consisted of UPSET, Dino trumps, muffin making and gadget playing until dinner and after dinner Huffle, Moo and I played table tennis.
