Saturday Activities - July 5, 2008

This week's activities started with an all you can eat buffet at the Pizza Hut on General Booth Blvd. It was unanimous, everybody liked the idea of pizza for dinner! The guys were quick to point out that they have Pizza Hut in Brazil too. However, it took a little convincing to get them to eat it American style (with their fingers instead of a knife and fork)!

Our waitress was from North Carolina and was nice enough to talk to us for a while so the Brazilians could hear her "Southern" accent, and then she took our picture!

From Pizza Hut it was on to a rousing game of miniature golf at the Lynnhaven Golf Park. We all hoped and prayed that the storm moving in would wait until we finished our game! We also prayed for Camillo to get the ball into the cup. The guys even lined up their golf clubs to make the ball go straight.

It was the first time our Brazilian friends had ever played miniature golf. Between an American baseball game, croquet in our back yard, bowling, and miniature golf, we gave them several new experiences to talk about when they get back to Brazil.

In case you're curious, the balls all landed in that pattern on their own, so we posed ourselves around the balls.The rain did hold off until we finished our game. It started raining just as we got to the eighteenth hole. That nixed our plans to go to the Dairy Queen after golfing, but hey, flexibility is the name of the game - right? We finished the evening at our house, praying together. All in all, I'd say it was a great night!
