Golf and a sleepover

Allison had her 1st private golf lesson today at Redhawk. She went to a clinic a few weeks ago and loved it. Then she won a free lesson in the raffle drawing. Lucky us! Steve, the instructor, is so patient and really worked well with her. He said she had a great swing for a 6 year old and he is excited to work with her. They practiced at the range, using her driver and iron and she probably hit 15-20 balls. Way to go! Then she got to ride in the cart up to the putting green and practiced her putting. He taught her this great "Tick-Tock" method and she nailed several putts. We hope that she can continue lessons in the fall if it doesn't conflict with soccer practice. She also hopes Papa will take her to the driving range when she visits next week!

After golf and a swim at Kate's, the girls fell asleep on the couch upstairs. I think they were worn out. I was glad to see them rest because Emily and Felicia are here for a sleepover. We had pizza for dinner and went to Golden Spoon for dessert. We got an extra special treat after yogurt. The girls spotted 2 paramedics eating dinner in their ambulance. After much hesitation, they asked them if they could see inside. Good thing they asked-they got a full tour of the ambulance and got to try on a neck brace and touch the equipment. What nice guys! Now home to play board games and watch Wipeout!
