Hanging with grandma

Even though I didn’t have any real plans (other than Top Golf) mom had some ideas and one was Dave and Busters.

Before we went to have fun, Josh and I did our Walmart shop for the items we needed for the trip. We go containers for food and utensils, and food for the first night. We only have a small soft cover plug in esky/ cooler so we will probably be buying fresh food every few days. Our plan is to have breakfast and lunch covered, and then when we can’t make dinners, we go out.

After our expedition to Walmart, we headed to Dave and Busters. For the Australians, it’s a Time Zone that includes adults as it has a bar, restaurant and big screens to watch sport. After grandma had enough of walking she very happily sat down to watch the NFL draft being shown.

The kids had a lot of fun and got to play a few different games that are new to them. The light/reflex test “speed of light “ was the most fun for me. Brandon did the best out of us all.

Dave and Busters , as well as Top Golf, was in a newish commercial area, which was also an outdoor mall. One of Inara’s list to do while being in the States was to go to Build A Bear. She saw Build a Bear on Mr Beast and really wanted a axolotl one. So Brandon decided to get one too. Now we we have Cotton Candy and Groter (grogu and Potter).

The whole experience was cute and checked one off the list for Inara. Due to time we ended up having a very late lunch at a cafe near by.

We headed back to the house and I decided to help with a bit of gardening as Mom was complaining about the old lights near the water feature that didn’t work. Therefore Josh got roped in and we spent an hour or two cleaning up the outdoor stairs/water feature area. A cold beer was perfect after that, as the cold mornings became humid afternoons. While we were outside we got to see some local deer across the street.

Brandon helped grandma cut some veggies for dinner and then we watched the Hawks beat the Gold Coast in Tassie on Fox Sport 2. It was kind of cool to be able to watch it.Read more
