The Making of a Golf Legend

Well, apparently I won’t be able to upload any blog posts during this trip, so I’ll have to save them all for when we get home. I tried connecting to the free Wi-Fi at the Rec Center today, but apparently my computer hates me. I was unable to connect even though I was surrounding by about 6 people happily surfing the internet. Brynn was also screaming (interrupting their happy/peaceful/quiet surfing), so I didn’t have time to mess with it. Oh well.

Anyhoo, due to the timing of Brynn napping and eating and Ethan napping and then early bedtimes, we have about 2 hours in the morning for an activity and then about 2 hours in the late afternoon. The rest of the time is spent at the condo (where we’re “roughing it” kind of like camping…okay, not really). So our morning activity today was another trip down to the beach at the lake. This time we drove so we could lug all our crap. And this time Braden and I were prepared in our swimsuits. Blythe and Ethan had a blast again. They loved getting dirty in the sand and watching the fish/trying to catch the fish.

Lunch/nap break at the condo and then we were ready for the afternoon activity, which was putt-putt and swimming at the pool. I’ve blogged several times about Ethan’s golfing skills (he’s quite good with a sand wedge), but looks like we have an expert putter on our hands as well. Definitely a golf legend in the making.


Because we were trying to teach Blythe how to hit the golf ball properly (and because she didn’t nap today or yesterday), she decided she was too good for the game of golf and opted to sit out. Whatever.

Braden claimed he was playing with a handicap.

As if not being able to bend over or see your ball are actually handicaps. I think he was just making excuses for losing.

After putt-putt, we swam around a bit. Even Brynn got in and enjoyed herself (hey, she never cried so I take that as she was having a ball). We finished up in the game room before heading back. Braden made a campfire (because we’re camping..duh), but then it rained and it went out (not to worry…he got it going again). We decided to wait on cooking our dinner until after the kids went to bed so we could actually enjoy it and a glass or 2 of wine. Good idea on our part…those chicken fajitas were tasty!
