Long Day

We packed a lot into today. In the morning, we went to Boondocks, a "family fun center" with mini-golf, go-karts, an arcade, bumper boats, and more. Emmett had a great time riding along with David in the go-karts, and was thrilled to learn that he's tall enough to pilot a bumper boat alone. And skilled enough to get dad pretty wet with the water cannon on the boat, too.

This afternoon, we went to a barbecue at a friend's house. Emmett spent a few hours on the trampoline, coming out now and then for Popsicles, cupcakes, and birthday cake (no, I don't think he ate much real food for dinner). David and I figured if ever there was a day that we'd tire out Emmett, it would be today.

But no. This evening Emmett still didn't want to go to bed, and David and I didn't have much energy to entice him in that direction. I did finally manage it, but I have to say as far as who tired who out today, it's game-set-match to Emmett.
