Bad Golf

Last Sunday, I got up early to play my second round of golf.  7:30 tee time at Hamilton Trials golf club.  I met my neighbor Steve and his cousins Anthony and Vic.  Let's go!  I was a bit nervous.  

I was horrible! I think I was overthinking it.  I had my teacher Matt's voice in my head.  I hit an occaisonal good shot but had many lost balls.  Where do they dissappear to?  

Maybe this chipmunk took them.  

I looked the part at least.  

So after 9, they told us we were going too slow and could not continue.  My friends went nuts and screamed at them.  They play here all the time and felt disrespected.  I was just hoping it wasn't my fault.  I was taking a lot of shots.  Eventually, they refunded us and let us play through.  

It's hard to get action shots.

I ran out of my own balls and used balls I found along the way.  I think this was my best drive.  Over 200 yards right down the middle.  It took like 5 hours to finish the 18 and drive back and forth.  I was exhausted.  

No time for rest when you have a family.  We headed to the beach.  

It was cloudy but warm.

The boys went to work starting on their fortune.  Sadly, they didn't find much.  

Melissa's friends came to say hi.  

Dave and Julia sat with us.  

The boys did well playing and keeping busy.  

Then the pool.  

Some shots from camp.  

Family day.  Ariel with Eva and Gwen and Cece with her sister.  

 

Toy Story 5

Last Saturday, we woke up in Margate.  We noticed this growing through our roof.  Apparently it's a hummingbird trumpet vine.  So before we get it removed, I've been looking for hummingbirds.  

I went for a run.  I passed by the new hot dog place.  

Sounds good but a little pricey.  

I ran by Ariel's favorite car in her favorite color.  

Speaking of Ariel, we got a picture of her with Cece.  

Artie came to visit us.  

It was rainy and cool so we went shopping.  

The boys got new sneakers at a cute place.  It's been in business 70 years.  This guy's parents opened it.  

The still had the 1950's cash register.  

Love the new sneaks boys.  

After lunch at Pizzatega, we went to Surfside to buy pillows.  They remembered us there.  We got our furniture there 10 years ago!

Eli loves riding his bike around,  

We went to see Toy Story 5.  I watched Toy Story 4 the night before for the first time.  4 made my cry more but 5 had a better story.  

We picked up a barbecue dinner at Betty's. 

Then we rode our bikes to the Dairy Bar.

They were working hard there.  

We hung with grandpop before heading back to go to bed.  

 

Smoked Beans

Last Wednesday, we got some camp pics.  The girls were hanging on their porch.  

Ariel and Emily snuggles.  

Honey came to visit.  

She had fun running around.  

I smoked chicken and baked beans.  

Yum.

Last Thursday, this picture of Ariel and Harper popped up.  Only 3 years ago, they looked so tiny.  Harper is taller than Ariel now!

I had a golf lesson.  Worked on the driver and 4 hybrid.  I did well on the driving range but struggled a bit on the actual course.  

I went to the gym after work then sat by the pool a little.  

Vicky came to play with the boys that night.  

I didn't take any pictures Friday.  The boys went to camp.  We had dinner at home then headed to the shore late.  Have a great weekend!
