For Nana's 61st birthday, Amy, Leo and the kids came to help her celebrate the big day (all weekend!!)
Colin has been saving his money for over a year, in order to buy golf clubs that he had seen at Joe's. We called him and told him to bring all his money to Bend and his work clothes. Papa put Colin and Adi to work (a dollar a bucket for pine cones!!!) They kept their own tally, and when all was said and done, we all trooped to the sporting goods store where Colin proudly bought four clubs and a bag. Adi bought a water bottle and gum!
We had already purchased a bag for Colin, but he happily gave it to Adi to use (Colin lets her put one of his clubs in it when they practice.) I gave them both a sleeve of balls, some tees, a ball marker, and golf pencil.
We took them to Widgi Creek, where they smacked the heck out of those balls!!! Colin could hardly believe that he finally had his clubs.
Max was the supervisor of the whole event. He remains calm under pressure and is a very good boss.
We also spent a lot of time at the pond across the road from the house. Colin is quite the "pro-fisher," as well as a "pro-golfer." The highlight of the weekend was when Colin let Nana reel in his catch. Nana's first fish (and most probably her last!)
