We all woke up this morning with willow bags under our furry little eyes. The kids were a bit grumpy, but once we got going on with the sight-seeing and fun, they really rallied! Our first stop was at a very noisy arcade. We don’t have arcades in Netwille so we have nothing to compare it to! Are they really always that loud? We couldn’t understand the first table we came to. It looked like a foosball table. The kids jumped right into the middle. I can see why. It looked like there were willows on each side cheering them on to run from one end of the table to the next. But apparently they were just some sort of marble stone. There were all kinds of funny shaped markings on the table too. Some were diamonds, some were hearts, some were clubs and some were spades. Like I said, it was so loud we couldn’t hear the instructions. We became a bit concerned when the look on the face of the individual running this table seemed very agitated with Wilena and Weston. He was flailing his arms and just about hit the kids off the table. What’s up with that? We didn’t know. Still not sure what we were supposed to do!
Next on our agenda was walking the board walk where we ended up at the Delta Saloon. We didn’t think they would let the kids in because of their age. Weston was just fascinated with what might be the Suicide Table and started begging “please let me go in”. That kind of willow-whining doesn’t set well with us! We told him he could go get some cheese to go with his whine!! Weston didn’t understand that at all! Since we weren’t sure if the Suicide Table was appropriate for his little furry eyes, I jumped up onto the sign to peer in. There was just too much going on inside for me to see! So we moseyed on with our adventure!
Our last experience of the day was panning for gold. Oh my furry gracious goodness!! That was quite the experience. The Mark Twain Museum was incredible. I think I have heard of Mark Twain. Didn’t he write children’s books and build a big Paddle Boat, ‘back in the day’? Anyway, we toured the museum and then we were taken to this big waterfall trough area. We were given pans and screens and told to scoop our pans into the water and try and find little nuggets of gold by sifting them through the screens. It was very tiring! Weston was out of control and got caught in the waterfall and wisked downstream! Thank goodness someone at the bottom scooped him up and returned him to us! He said it was the best water slide he had ever been on! Of course you can imagine how willow-worried-we-were!
Day is done, gone the sun! And so will Weston if he doesn’t calm down!! More tomorrow!
