Palapalooza

Last Saturday evening was Palapalooza, a mother and son event. Moms and their boys get to play together, see an entertainer and have an ice cream sundae. The boys played the bean-bag toss and the fishing game several times each. They also enjoyed putting a golf ball and making refigerator magnets. Oliver and I played 2 or 3 rounds of dodgeball but they used wimpy foam-style balls instead of the old school rubber playground balls that could actually pack a wallup in the hands of an experienced dodgeball player. Owen just watched that game because he was afraid he'd get hurt. Ironically, he got hurt on the seat-scooters when he rolled under a woman's feet, she tripped over his head and he smacked his forehead on the wood floor. He has a lovely egg on his head just in time for Easter! Prior to the forehead-smacking incident, the seat-scooters were the highlight of the evening because I was running them around the gym at dangerous speeds. (Boy, is my shoulder sore!)
