My life always seems to be hectic and this week was no different. Last Friday my family and I decided to take a tour of Sioux City. Our first stop was Diamond Thai which is my little slice of heaven in the midwest.
Weird side note: When my dad went up to pay the man at the cash register asked if we were on our way to Mt. Rushmore... Umm, no? Do we look like tourists? Next stop was the carousel in the mall. I personally haven’t ever been a fan of moving up and down and spinning in a circle slowly as people walk by and stare at me. But hey, yolo.
The best part was that Claire won a punching balloon and ran through the hallways showing off her prize.
Our next adventure was in the lazer tag arena. The instructor was way too serious and made us feel like we were going to battle. I just wanted to play a friendly game of laser tag, but I soon realized that no laser tag game is friendly. It was war! Spencer and Ellie beat Kate, my dad, and I by three.
Then we celebrated with frozen yogurt, my favorite.
The night was getting dark, but we didn’t give in yet. Next on the agenda was kubb, a swedish game that we like to play. Crazy thing is that we have been playing it way before Spencer ever got his mission call.
But then it got too dark to see the game so we hung a sheet on the side of the house and watched
“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”.
The day was seriously perfect. I love my family so much.
