HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMY

Last weekend was Jeremy's 27th birthday. He came to Missouri to celebrate with me & the boys. Saturday was his actual birthday. So that morning he went golfing with Uncle Phil, Ron and myself. I did not golf - I rode in the cart. I know nothing about golf and have never hit a ball on a golf course. Never even rode in a cart on the golf course. I have putt putt & I suck at it. So this was a new experience. And I wasn't extremely excited about either. I don't mind golf, but I've never been interested in golf & Jeremy & I had decided that that would be "his" thing.

Uncle Phil lives on the 15th hole of the golf course. His house is behind them in this picture. Ron is a friend from Hawaii.

This is me goofing off & Jeremy pondering his swings & putts.

This is us on maybe the 17th or 16th hole, I'm not sure. It was really cold when we first started, we had a 8:00 am T time. By this time it was warming up - some.

This is me on the 18th hole finally hitting the ball. I did actually hit the ball but it went only like 1 yard in front of me to the left. Not a pretty sight. Jeremy did a regular hit & then a Happy Gilmore hit. The Happy Gilmore drive was as good as his regular one!

I enjoyed the golf more than I thought I would. I enjoyed doing it with Jeremy & Uncle Phil. It was more exciting than I thought it would be. Even though I just watched most of the time. The only other thing that I did was rake the sand traps. I spared you the picture of that. And amazingly Jeremy was the only one that landed in the traps, I think this because the only ones that I had to rake were for him.

That evening we went to a Japanese steak house in Springfield called Nakato. Holly & Trevor joined us. We had a good time. Then rented a movie & watched it at home. We were too tired from golf to do much of anything else.

Sunday we went to see the Bee Movie
it was pretty good. The boys enjoyed it more than we did. Like most other cartoons it did address several "issues" that Jeremy & I thought were amusing.
