it was a beautiful day out all day until about 3pm when it started to rain. it would pour for a bit and then stop and the sun would come out and it would be beautiful once again. after awhile it would pour again, stop, sun...it goes on.
we had hoped to go to paradise park to get some go-kart riding in, maybe even a round of putt-putt because that's how we roll. when we got there, there were about 500 children all having parties. seriously. they were everywhere.
so we go up to ask if we can buy tickets for the putt-putt. joshua tells us that it is much to wet out there and there are some really big puddles and he just wouldn't feel right selling us tickets to play in those conditions. ok. how about go-karts? are they up and running? nope. there is a big puddle right by the go-kart area and they simply cannot run them.
so what you're telling us is that we can hang out here in the arcade with the 500 children? awesome. we left. plan b. bowling.
we headed over to lucky strike for a couple games even though i hate their lanes. have you ever bowled on new lanes? totally different then a lane that's been there for 50 years.
jennie and i ended up tying our second game, each bowling a 90. melissa wasn't far behind...right melissa?! so there will have to be a tie breaker game in our near future, jennie, on old lanes!
after bowling we headed out for dinner. on the way we saw a great rainbow.
we ended up at the olive garden and had THE WORST waitress possibly ever. no joke. she asked if we wanted a sample of wine and when we told her "no" it all went down from there. she almost seemed mad that we simply wanted water. every time she came over to the table it was awkward. she was completely unfriendly and was practically throwing plates at us. when she'd come over we literally were laughing because the whole situation was so obsurd.
towards the end of the meal, we were all still eating mind you, she came over and asked if we wanted boxes. jennie said she wasn't sure yet and i said that yes, in a bit i would like a box. a few minutes later she does a drive-by asking "did you say you DID want boxes?" yes, sure, bring us boxes.
so she brings the boxes over and we're all slowing down. i'm eating a bit of salad and she starts putting away the leftovers for jennie and melissa. she then asks me for not only my leftovers but also my fork so she can scrape it in the box. hmm, maybe you just should have left the boxes with us? as i'm still eating my salad, she's asking me for my bread plate so she can clear the table off. she then pointed to the salad bowl and said "do you just want to finish that salad, HUN?" she called me hun and melissa lost it. so the waitress completely clears off the table as i'm still eating my salad.
it was unforgettable, you can say that.
anyway. we had a great time and hope to do it more often!
thanks, guys. seriously. thank you.

Thank you too - it was a great time and yes, we'll have to have a rematch.
Something else about the waitress situation - when she asked you for your fork that you WERE STILL EATING WITH, you had the decency and courtesy to lick off the salad/dressing that was on it before handing it to her!! Like, ok, even though you're inconveniencing me, I'll make sure it's all ready to go to scrape the lasagna into the box. Too bad she didn't have the same politeness towards us.
