A couple weekends ago we loaded up for a trip to Branson to see Mimi, Papa and Meemaw. Abby has for some reason took a liking to miniature golf so we took the unprecedented step of visiting two mini golf establishments in a single day. First up was a pirate-themed course complete with pirate ship. Abby and I jumped up on the ship’s afterdeck to take a turn at the wheel. I yelled “Avast!” a couple of times.
When we finished the round they gave me this cool hat and eye patch.
After dinner that evening we walked across the street to a mini golf course with a Land That Time Forgot kinda theme. A raging plastic triceratops caught Abby and me off guard. BTW it turns out the triceratops might not have been what we all think it was.
The place had a big fake volcano that belched flames about every 15 minutes. I wanted to get a photo of Abby and Gina with the spewing volcano in the background, but every time the thing went off Abby ran away from it and all the pictures came out like this one with Gina waving frantically for Abby to come back. Even after seeing it do its thing about 50 times, Abby still wasn’t convinced that lava wasn’t going to come down and engulf her.
I even worked in a waterfall shot.
