Saturday

Saturday was a full day for us. JR got up early and went to work for a few hours. When he got home we loaded up to go to Wimberley. The Wimberley Athletic Booster Club puts on an annual golf tournament to raise money for the athletics department at the school. Last year JR and Kyle (Vanessa's boyfriend) played with two other guys while Vanessa and I sat around in the heat watching Logan and Landry. This year, however; my dad offered to watch the kids so that Vanessa and I could play. I have only played golf 3 or 4 times before, but Vanessa has never played. Kyle got his degree in PGA management or some sort of golf thing and he is actually trying to get on the PGA tour...he's kind of awesome at golf! He takes Vanessa to the driving range quite a bit, so even though she has never actually played, she can drive the ball very well. Anyway, the way the tournament is played is that each team has 4 players. Each player tees off, and then you choose the best ball. It could be the one that went the furthest, or the one that is better lined up for you next shot...whatever ball the team deems the best. Then, the other three players pick up their balls and put them next to "the best ball," and each player hits their ball from that spot. Again, you choose the best ball, and each player hits from that spot. Hope that makes sense. Anyway, we ended up winning the tournament,out of 22 teams!!! We all got place first trophies and we each recieved a 1.75L bottle of Dripping Springs Vodka! (Dripping Springs is a town, about 20 minutes from Wimberley. They have several wine vineyards in the town and apparently a vodka distillery as well! HA) I also need to note that before the golf tournament began, there was a putting tournament. JR signed us all up for it and paid the extra money. I was the first person out of 24 to go (although, there were 8 people who decided to pay extra money to have an extra try) and I scored a 5. I got a hole in one on the first putt, and scored a 2 on the next two. By the end, five people (including me) had scored a 5 so we had a putt off. On the second round I scored a 6, three others scored a 7, and the last person to go scored a 5. :( So, I got second place. I should also add I was the only girl!!! LOL Anyway - we had so much fun. after the tournament we had the awards ceremony and dinner. My mom had just arrived with Isabella and Isaiah - they had been in Galveston all week, so we went to the grocery store to get a few things then went back to my parents house so the kids could play. We finally left at 11:30 - Logan stayed there because he wanted to play with Izzy and Bubba. My mom will drop him off tomorrow morning along with Isabella and Isaiah. They will stay the night and my dad will pick them up Tuesday afternoon. Today...I am so sore. We were going to go to a county fair in Fredricksburg...but I think I would rather rest for the day!
