downunder 08 - meet the parents

This evening was our first chance to meet Kate's boyfriend of 2 years - Troy. He joined us after work and we all went out to dinner at Lonestar Steakhouse (yes even in Australia there's a Texas steakhouse!) Afterwards we worked off our big meal at the nearby Putt Putt (mini golf). It was a fun way to get to know each other better.

Troy (who manages a sporting goods store and is keen on sports) came out the winner, narrowly beating Mark. Jasmine & I brought up the rear.

mini golf

While David and Clair took off to do an "epic" bike ride in Park City today, Mark and I took Clair's children - Annie (16) and Antonio (5) to Boondocks Fun Center here in Draper for a round of mini-golf (aka Putt-Putt). It was Antonio's first time at mini-golf and he got the hang of it quickly, although he did seem to think it had to be played at high-speed, running after his ball as soon as he had struck it. It was a lot of fun.
