Good Times Golfing

Mini-golfing is one of those things we've wanted to do in quite some time, so we finally gave it a try this weekend. It was a first for Brighton, and I wasn't sure if we were going to make it through.  18 holes sounded like a lot, but it actually went quite quickly.  Brighton was howling with excitement at every turn.  He did constantly pick up his ball and move it closer to the hole...oh well.  Lots of confusion for a four year old with the numbers and scoring too, but we told him he won.  Overall a success, and we'll tackle those rules the next time...or maybe we won't.

 "Hey mom, remember when we went golfing?  That was really fun."

Tilden has been doing pretty well sitting up, so we tried her in the Burley tonight.  Just a very short trip to the local convenience store, but they had a ball.  

Sorta Skiing

We have this pretty cool ski trainer that we've been tempting Brighton with for a couple years now already.  He likes playing on it ad being pulled around on it, but he prefers to stay closer to shore.  When we talk about putting it behind the boat he is just simply unsure, and he'll tell you so.  Or you can see it if for yourself if you look at him here. 

This weekend we decided to give a try, and I didn't think we were going to pull it off.  There was some excitement and then some tears, and we almost threw in the towel, but we just kept encouraging him, so he decided to try.  Now look at that face!

He was having so much fun (and gaining so much confidence) he thought he'd try some tricks like his Daddy. 

Speaking of his Daddy.  Guess where he was?  You can't see him, but he is hanging off the back of the ski trainer.  Yes, we weren't going that fast.  Jon said he guessed half the lake's seaweed was wrapped around him at one point.  What a trooper!  Now if only next time we can get Brighton to try it without Jon hanging off the back.
