Driving Range

What better way to spend a day off together that at the driving range teaching young minds how to golf? Ok, well Sydney already knows how to. In fact, she just got a brand new junior set since her old ones were too small for her. She gave the old set to Kassie and Madeline, which was the perfect size for them. Andy also just got a new set too. Lucky guy. We went to get him a new driver, since he always wants to take mine, and found a really good set on sale for Memorial Day. I'd say it was perfect timing, since his old clubs were, well, old. So, off we went to the driving range. Sydney is so good. She can drive the ball far, and she is pretty darn accurate, too! Kassie is just learning. I taught her just the basics, so she can feel comfortable when she swings the club. It was cute watching her because she wants to be good like Sydney, so she was really determined to hit that ball hard! This was Madeline's first time picking up a golf club, so it was interesting. First off, I asked her if she wanted to hit a ball. She screamed "NO" and ran away from me. Like it was going to hurt her if she touched it. Then Andy asked her, and she reacted the same way. Finally we all were trying to coax her into just hitting one ball, and she finally gave in. Andy showed her how to hit it, and that was it. She proceeded to hit all the balls left in that bucket! She loved it.

By the looks of things I'll have 3 pros in no time! ;)

No School? Let's go to the park!

Since the girls had no school today, Andy and I took them to the park. We actually just went down to their school, since the park we like to go to was packed, and because Syd and Andy wanted to play catch and basketball. So, off we went. It was a really pretty day. The sun was shining and the temperature was 50 degrees!
We all had lots of fun. In fact the only reason we came home was because we were all hungry. I had been cooking a roast in the slow cooker all day. So, all I had to do was make the mashed potatoes. We stuffed ourselves because it was soooo good! Fun day and a great dinner! What more could you ask for?
