Today we went to pizza at Roaring Rapids on the river. After all the rain we have had, the place has definitely earned its name. Here's a picture I took last October when Rick and Paulette stopped by on their way to California and next to that a picture of what the river looked like today. In the summer, the Willamette is a popular river for fishing from a drift boat or just rafting for fun, but I sure wouldn’t do it now.
We managed to burn off some of the kid’s energy in the arcade. They gravitated to the air hockey game and had a great time playing various versions of two against one. Just look at that puck fly.
Then we got home and the Wii games that I ordered yesterday afternoon from Amazon had arrived!! I cannot say enough about Amazon Prime. Not only do you get free shipping no matter what the cost, it is the FASTEST shipping I have ever received from Amazon. Now that is only items fulfilled by Amazon so if you go to an off-site store that handles their own fulfillment, you might have to pay. I don’t think I have purchased very many items that were not fulfilled by Amazon so it’s not a concern for me. I also love the fact that I can get tons of movies and older TV shows for free with Amazon Prime. For $79 annually, I think it's a heck of a deal.
So back to the new Wii games. I bought several Dance games and the kids have been at it ever since we got back from the pizza place. It sure uses up some energy and it’s good for them. Here’s a short clip of them dancing – they didn’t know I was filming but they were sure having fun.
And with that we bid a fond farewell to Spring Break at the grandparents…but summer break will be here before we know it. It’s been fun, now I’m ready for a nap!!!
