Crystal Caves Mini Golf.

This past Monday, being as it was one of my grandparents last days with us after almost six weeks of seeing them, they brought my sister and I to an all time favorite day trip: Crystal Caves mini golf in Auburn. It wasn't that busy on a Monday and a big group of people came immediately after us so I guess we came at the right time!


The weather was really nice and luckily there was a big shaded section at least every other hole.



The winner was my grand dad with a score of 48 followed by my nan with 52 and tied for third (or last if you want to be pessimistic) was myself and Emma both with 59 points despite Emma getting 3 holes in one in the game. We followed up this with a cool down and some lunch in the 99 right across the street.


All in all, it was an enjoyable day and when we got home we created this. 


It was a failed attempt at a cheesecake factory cheesecake/ red velvet cake but it still tasted alright.

Hebert Candy Mansion

Good morning. Yesterday, after dinner, all six of us (including grandparents) decided to take a trip down to the Hebert Candy Mansion Thursday night car show. We got there quite late so many of the cars had left but there were still plenty to look at and not as crowded as it was last year. 


I tried to get a shot of the sign with someone in an old mustang driving by but they turned a corner and all I got was the back of the car. The cars there ranged from brightly colored ferrari's to cars that look like (nay, were) made in the 1800's. 



I've always wanted one of these.






This is a good one too. The really old car was my favorite though. Not only did it let me experiment with the sepia feature on my camera but I thought it would be really cool to have one to ride around town being as it was the most unusual and awesome-looking one there. 





The last one isn't the same car but I thought it would look cool in the sepia setting being as it was so old.

However, we were at the candy mansion meaning we needed to try out their famous ice cream and topping bar! 



Needless to say, we enjoyed it.
