weekend with maj

yes, it's my second post for the day. yes, i'm off work today. don't judge.
sara's sister, stacey, a.k.a. maj, came up to visit for the weekend. although i had to work a good portion of the time, we were able to do some fun stuff. we ended up at the zoo to help fulfill my quest to see Tai Shan, but no luck. we were too late. we were able to see a plethora of other animals, but no pandas.

on another evening, we ventured off to dave and buster's, an arcade type atmosphere with a bar and bowling alley. after several rounds of skee ball, basketball and virtual tennis, sara and maj mention that they want me to win a kickball for maj out of one of those giant claw machines. (maj plays kickball on a team called "the crazy kickers" for a league in her area.) i've only one one other item from a machine like that before. and on my FIRST TRY, as shown in the photo, i won her a kickball. good times. it definitely left the evening on a good note.

it was great to hang with maj for the weekend. i hope she has some fun stuff in mind for next summer.
