Golf

May 11, 2020

The boys spent another pretty morning on the golf course Saturday!

Spencer has his own clubs now and the boys are having fun – and apparently getting quite competitive. No surprise there!

Spencer has new clubs but know what he doesn’t have? His other front tooth! Yep, that other snaggly one got pulled Friday night!

Love it!

Clean cut

April 29, 2020

Robert was looking pretty shaggy and decided it was time for a haircut. Since he’s the best dad ever, he decided to let the kids give him a trim!

They all got some good laughs in and took turns with the clippers.

Unfortunately, clippers aren’t quite as foolproof as you’d think. Oops!!

He looked liked this when the kids were done…

Definitely not the best haircut he’s had but, hey, you get what you pay for!! Β πŸ™‚

Pinewood derby – someday!

April 21, 2020

As I mentioned before, the boys worked so hard on their pinewood derby cars and I’m so sad the derby got cancelled…or hopefully just postponed for who knows when! These awesome cars deserve to be raced!!

The planning started months ago…

And then the cutting and painting and decorating began!

As with every project, there were a few snags in the process. The biggest was some wind that blew a garbage bag and messed up Maxwell’s carefully applied second coat of paint…

But, nothing a little muscle and sand paper can’t take care of!

Soon he was back in business and making it look as good as ever!

Meanwhile, Spencer’s progressed nicely…and I might have helped too much but I just can’t help myself. He was pleased!

They then got wheels on and weights added…

and these cars are ready to race!! Introducing, “Cavallino”…

Neighborhood

April 20, 2020

Now more than ever I’m so grateful we live in the neighborhood we do. Plenty of space to ride bikes, lots of good streets for walks, and open space to play! You can’t really beat walking to the local soda shop to pick up a sandwich for lunch…

or biking to the local ice cream store for a treat!

Cheaha

April 13, 2020

A week ago Saturday with Robert in tow we made the drive to Cheaha State Park. We even got to drive through Camp Mac on the way! We started with the easy hike/walk to Bald Rock – pretty nice!

We then headed over Pulpit Rock which also had some great views.

Robert even got a bit daredevil and climbed out onto this rock!

Don’t fall!

Was this staged? I’ll never tell.

The goal of our day was really to see a waterfall but we kept getting detoured because of trailheads being closed. We finally managed to make our way to Cheaha Falls though and it was pretty cool!

It was a long day of adventuring and we all felt like this on the long drive home!

Thankful for the time spent together on another beautiful day!
