The room is about $60/night. We use $70/day in electricity running the A/C, plus a pretty decent breakfast is included. I hope someone is losing lots of money in the casino to subsidize our stay.
O is a breakfast man. He loves his eggs.
After breakfast, I turned on the cartoons and went back to bed until noon. Thank you, Cartoon Network!
From noon to 3, we hung out at the pool. It was about 100 degrees out when we started, but the wind, clouds, and occasional rain cooled things down to the mid-90's.
You may be alarmed to find out that I've been doing some reading as of late. I'm a big fan of the Kindle.
Vinny went back to the room to get drinks and cheese sticks. He gave me a very thorough play-by-play of his two-minute walk via walkie-talkie.
O would have stayed in the water all day. I told him we needed to go eat lunch. He said the cheese stick was his lunch.
My dad gave the boys $10 each to get something on our trip. Taking them to the toy aisle with money burning in their pockets is torture. I had to give them a two-minute warning to pick a toy of lose the money.
For lunch/dinner, we went across the street to Wulfy's where they have a mini-bowling alley. It's $1/game per person and pretty fun!
The food was good there as well. Cheesesteak and onion rings.
Took the paved road to Front Sight this time around. Had quite a bit more sunshine today since we didn't spend any time in the classroom.
Meanwhile in the kids' course, the boys each got to shoot a few magazines on an UZI! (bad pics--low light level and Vinny/Owen taking the pics is a rough mix)
At the end of the night, we met back up in the classroom.
Not long after, Dr. Ignatious Piazza took the stage!
He spoke for about 45 minutes on how awesome Front Sight is.
As soon as he was done, we got in line to shake his hand and get our picture. He was very nice. O couldn't handle the excitement and wouldn't get onstage with us.
With their certificates in hand, the boys begged to skip the fireworks so they could get in bed.
We watched the very impressive fireworks show on way to the car.
Happy Independence Day!
UPDATE: It's 3am pacific time. Just spent the last 30 minutes cleaning up V's barf. In his bed and all over O's special blanket (which is now drying on the railing outside our room). He must have eaten that whole bag of licorice by himself!

I had to read your last comment twice. It's usually O who's doing the barfing.
I did the same thing, Jo Ellen! What a fun boys' weekend.
