Today started with us getting the kids ready for school, while DD went to go get the Tesla, and AA had calls to do for work. We got the kids to school in time for breakfast, as well as I got to meet this cute kid name Leah, who asked me who I was, and got MbMell to fill her water for her. B and T were tear free which was awesome (see how tomorrow goes as they don't know that we are leaving before they get home yet).
Following drop off, MbMell and Lola headed back to the house to have breakfast and get ready for the day. We went to the Domain to do a little shopping and hit up their favorite store... Athleta (a store that Lola currently can't get clothes from in Canada). We only bought a few things!
After some shopping the DD and AA met us at Top Golf for lunch and some games. The food was excellent, Lola and AA decided on salads which were excellent! Then up to the Audi section of Top Golf to hit some balls. What a neat activity, this isn't just a driving range like originally thought, but it had different games to play with the targets out in the distance. MbMell was very good at hitting the yellow target consistently, while Lola enjoyed the green! DD started his game off using the ladies clubs as he forgot the the ladies were always on the "right". This is a highly recommended activity, as there are so many games you could play. The balls all have RFID's in them to track exactly where they land.
The 4 of us played for 2 hours, and then headed to pick up the Twinkies from school. They had a great day learning about bugs. They searched for spiders in the dirt outside with magnified glasses as well as learned a new song that B already memorized. The only thing T could remember eating was mashed potatoes, which Lola thought was pretty interesting. They also brought home some art work, where B was very proud that she only put the bug stamps on the paper, rather than all over her brother.
Once home, DD had some work to do, MbMell was doing things around the house, Lola played with the Twinkies (with cars, a ramp, and a puppy that just kept blocking the cars from going down... oh Emma), and AA made supper. We headed outside for a little play when AA was bbqing!
Chicken, Rice and Asparagus was supper tonight, and wow was it good! B had 3 helpings of rice, 2 helpings of asparagus and 1 helping of chicken. T only had 2 helpings of rice, and was a struggle to get him to eat the asparagus, but finally did. We had a great supper. While we were waiting for T to finish eating, we were chatting with B, and we started talking about Dinosaurs, which reminded B of the time MbMell and DD went to see Dinosaurs after they got married. (kids are funny). Yes they had gone to Universal Studios, Jurassic Park, on their honeymoon, and we also went back last February (refer to older blog post). We started talking about how B hugged the Photographer Helper (thought she was a character at Disney), while the Dinosaur sure scared Lola. After supper was completed, Lola found the photos and we looked through them and talked about that excellent trip!
Bed time was next, we went to the washroom, got pjs on, and the new tradition of brushing our teeth with Lola was completed. The Twinkies went to bed alright after they lost all their privileges in the the first minute of closing the door, but turned it around quickly and got their privileges back one by one as time passed and the continued to stay in their beds and try and fall asleep!

The adults, then played a little VR, Vacation Simulator Demo was amazing, as well as talked about future vacations together. We ended the night with a few more games, Wits and Wagers as well as Whats your Meme. It is late, and Lola should get to bed. We plan on taking the Twinkies to school (saying our good byes), heading to do a bit more shopping then off to the airport we go.
