The boys needed new tennis shoes since they can’t wear flip-flops to school, so off we went to buy some new shoes. Colm and I had a showdown in the shoe aisle at Fred Meyer over shoes, but I won and he did not get the horrendously ugly light-up ones that he wanted. (They were SO ugly.) Liam decided he is tired of velcro, so he will be learning how to tie his shoes this weekend. Yes, I know, it’s ridiculous. He should have that skill down by now.

Our kids have huge feet. What sizes will they be wearing in high school????

Colm has been begging to go play mini-golf since we moved here. Sean had one more day of vacation so we headed to the Family Fun Center where they have everything from go-carts to bumper boats to video games to mini-golf and much, much more.


The boys ended up getting a ridiculous number of tickets because they figured out how to play this one game and they just kept feeding it tokens and it kept spitting out tickets.

(Project 365-9/1/10)
How many times did the boys do the bumper boats? I have no idea. I lost track, but they were soaked by the time we left.
While we were at Cannon Beach, we ate at Pig ‘N’ Pancake a couple of times. It’s a cute little breakfast place and the boys fell in love with it. (We would have eaten there more than twice if the boys would have had any say in the matter.) On the last day, it was time to pack up and go and we still hadn’t found a souvenir for Liam….until we saw these socks.
