Back Nine

Sunday, Jack met up with Daddy on the 9th green to play the entire back 9 with him and Henry's dad, Matt (aka "Mr. Matt" our next door neighbor). He started out by hitting the green on his first shot on the 10th, then made a 10 on the Par 5 11th hole starting on the front tees (255 yards). That included getting up & down in 2 from the greenside bunker. Yes, he got out of the bunker with his 7-iron and 1-putted the green.

He had an absolute blast, usually playing from the 150-yd marker in. He learned some ettiquete as it's hard to stay still and quiet when you're nearly 4. After the 18th, he told us he beat us both and wanted to go to the range to hit more balls (we went home, old guys were tired).

So happy he loves golf.

"I'm excited about our baby......but I'm more excited about
Chuck E. Cheese!"


(Jack said to Nanny on the way to Chuck E. Cheese.)

Camp GrandMary & GrandPat

Jack's cousins, Laurel and Landon, spent 6 days in Austin last week. GrandMary and GrandPat planned lots of fun activities for the kids. From swimming to Putt-Putt, all had an excellent time. We especially loved visiting family friend Gavin at his firehouse!

GrandMary ordered a cookie cake for the firemen. In red and orange icing it said, "Firemen are Hot!" While this mortified her son, the rest of us thought it was pretty funny.

Crispix

As Jack was eating breakfast this morning (1 bowl of Crispix + 1 bowl of Cheerios) he informed us with excitement as he read the box, "Did you know it's Crispy Rice on one side and Crunchy Corn on the other?!"
