Monday seemed busy. School in the morning, the vet came to look at the dogs,Traveler was re-homed, and I had a chiro appointment in Ames. We said goodbye to Traveler, a horse we have had for 11 years. He is going on to a new life as a therapy horse. I really hope he works out for the ministry that he will be part of. He is such a great horse and I think he will be a great addition to the Godspeed Equine ministry program.
Tuesday we finished school our school year, so to celebrate , I wanted to do something fun with the boys. I took them to the Don Williams golf course. We live 5 miles from the course and have never played there. The day was gloomy, cool, and foggy. I was hoping for sunshine and lovely. This was the boys very first time golfing. We watched a quick Youtube video on how to properly grip and swing the club. With that little tiny education, we hit the course. Because Wednesday is the discounted rate, there was a steady flow of golfers. We had to let people play ahead. We were beginners and very slow. It took a lot of hits to get that ball down the range. We even skipped a couple holes in our game becasue it was taking so long. We started at 11 and finished our 9 holes (minus the 2 we skipped) at 2:00. We made lots of divots on the course and hit plenty of air shots. We had some good laughs and a few awesome shots. Jake really enjoyed the game and was ready to buy his own golf cart by the end. Oh boy that kid is always after something else to buy! Strangely enough, you have to be 18 to drive a golf cart. Both boys had a good time. They were buggy with each other, all 3 of us had to ride on a cart together and there were elbows and shoves. It was a fun day and we were all glad we went.
