I got to spend some time with Alden Saturday afternoon, just me and him.  Mommy was in New Orleans for a conference.  We went to Horseshoe Junction.  There we went on the bumper boats and got soaked by a man and his three children.  Luckily, they left and we got to putter around the pool in the bumper boat.  Alden really enjoyed going next to the waterfall and water fountain.  We were getting hot so we got out and watched the go-carts for a few minutes.  Even though Alden’s got the height requirement down to passenger ride a go-cart, I don’t think it’s safe quite yet, even though he might!

Next we went inside and proceeded to play a little hoops game for basketball where you win tickets and the skee ball game.  We won some tickets but not that many!  So, we went back and won some more, enough so we could get a lollipop.  Alden wanted purple, 10 tickets, wow!  That took us a few games to win that many.  Next we got our pictures taken, “Wanted Outlaws!”  I’ll be posting them up here soon.  We also played afterburner with him on my lap.  That was fun with the tilting and turning, though I didn’t like the blow up stuff.  We enjoyed more skee-ball and mini-hoops and won 10 more tickets.  Next time we go back, we can start off with a lollipop.  Finally, we played the Nascar driving game which we won first place!

We’ll be going back soon.  It was a great day.

Alden, Grand D., and I grilled chicken legs and veggies out on the deck.  Grand D. made homemade BBQ sauce, it was good!  Don’t tell Mommy!
