Saturday and Sunday were filled with fun . . . but Mommy didn't do the best job taking pictures . . . she was enjoying the fun! Minnie and Bubbles came over when we woke up on Saturday morning (after driving to Dallas super late on Friday evening), and the boys were so excited! They played every single board game in the playroom in the morning. We love that Minnie and Bubbles like to play games! After so many game, lunch, and a short rest, we took them to the club for the afternoon/evening. We had a couple of hours relaxing and playing at the pool, and it was a nice breezy and not hot afternoon. Lincoln got changed and invited Bubbles to watch him play golf with Daddy. Linc has been really looking forward to showing Bubbles his golf skills. They all had fun playing a few holes and riding around on the golf cart. Bubbles took a few videos and pictures. He was definitely impressed with Linc's efforts! (Occasionally 5 year olds have a swing and a miss, but they always try again!)
They officially played three holes together 7, 8, and 9. Lincoln requested that his score should be recorded at 7 strokes, 8 stokes, and 9 strokes, respectively. That totally makes sense for a 5 year old! He did a great job and had fun with Bubbles and Daddy!
While they were out golfing, Minnie helped Beau get cleaned up from the pool. He wanted to golf too, and Nana and Pops arrived in their golf cart at the right time. We all went for a little driving range practice, and Beau had lots of fun. Still need to work on the appropriate level of voice for golfing . . . he did some super loud cheering for himself when he had a good connection with the ball! The older man near us wasn't bothered and said it was good to hear a young one getting excited about golf.
Golf practice can only last for so long when raking the sand trap is another option. Beau climbed up on the hill side this time. He kept saying he didn't know why no one had raked that part yet, but he would take care of it. Such a hard worker!
We all met back at the restaurant to have dinner, and everyone's selections were delicious! I am hating that I didn't take pictures, but I'll list what we had just for fun. Pops had Chicken Oscar with Tomato Bisque, Bubbles had the Pork Chop with Mashed Potatoes, Nana had the Scallops with Pasta, Minnie had the Filet Wedge Salad, Daddy had the Club Burger, Mommy had the BBQ Chicken Flatbread, and the boys shared a burger, chicken strips, fries, ketchup and fruit. Everyone loved their dinner! It was pretty late when we finished up at the club, so we went home for baths and bed.
Minnie and Bubbles promised the boys that they would come back on Sunday morning, and they did! They did lots of playing while Mommy and Daddy ran some errands. Lincoln's indoor soccer game was in the afternoon, and it was a good one! Getting a good action picture has eluded Mommy for the first two games, but the most perfect shot ever happened in the second half. With a little editing on the way home, this is the best soccer picture ever!!!!! Lincoln was really hustling and getting in so many kicks. Love it!
After soccer, Minnie and Bubbles headed back to Arkansas. We headed to the pool for a little more swimming to end the weekend. Beau totally beasted around with his water shooter! The only rule at swimming is to not shoot people. That is surprisingly way harder than it sounds, but all of us moms are on the same page. Beau is always ready with his water shooter!
After we swam, we changed up and met with Daddy (who played a few holes) and Nana and Pops for dinner. We all agreed to try something new from the new menu, and everyone loved dinner for the second night in a row! Daddy, Pops, and Nana had the Reuben and Mommy had the Pork Tenderloin. (The boys repeated their half burger and chicken strip with fruit from the night before.) We haven't had a bad meal yet, and there are so many menu items to try! (I think I'm up for the crab cake next followed by pulled pork sliders, but the Filet salad is screaming my name!) The boys wanted to walk around with Nana and Pops after dinner, so Mommy and Daddy grabbed a cart and rode the back nine. So nice to ride along in the peace and quiet with a nice breeze. If "selfies" had existed in 2000, it would be fun to compare us riding on a golf cart now at Canyon Creek and us riding on a golf cart 14 years ago at Stonebridge in Fayetteville.
So sorry that we have no pictures with Minnie and Bubbles from the weekend, but they were here and it was all fun. At bedtime, we asked Beau what was his favorite thing he did today. He said the time that Minnie and Bubbles were here. Then he said his not favorite time today was finishing his cookie and having to take a bath and go to bed. Real thoughts from a three year old! So come back soon, Minnie and Bubbles. We'll take your picture next time!
