Time to be outside

Saturday the weather was great for an early morning soccer game.  We all headed to the fields and watched Mac score another goal.  Aunt Forrest, Uncle Ed and Finley all came to cheer on the lions as well. 

For once Copeland cooperated and sat in the stroller until the very end of the game.  (It helped that I gave him food to eat the whole time)    We let Coe get out of the stroller as soon as the game was over.  He hadn’t been out 2 minutes before he found a way to get filthy. He ran to Coach Scott when I tried to pick him up and clean him off.  Thankfully Coach Scott didn’t seem to mind a dirty baby boy.  

After the soccer game we decided to head to PCC for some family golf time at the driving range followed by lunch.  The boys loved it.  Especially Mac who takes his golf very seriously.  Mac can really hit the ball long and straight for a 4 yr old.  The crazy thing is that he has been doing that since he was 15mo old.  Coe on the other hand seems to enjoy throwing the golf balls as much as he does hitting them, but he gave it a try and was happy to just been included in the golf outing for once.     

     I could see the moods changing after about 45min of hitting balls, so Albi and I quickly gathered all the clubs and headed back to the clubhouse for lunch.  The boys actually both sat in their own seats at lunch, used their inside voices, and ate their food. For anyone who has ever gone to a restaurant with a 4yr old and an 18mo old you understand my delight at this accomplishment. 

It was a successful Saturday morning and we were home in time for Copeland to take an afternoon nap which was very much needed by that point.
