Thank you to our Veterans!

I woke up to Tatum reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and telling me we needed to wear red, white and blue. She’s not even 4. Holy moly.

So, I took heed, got dressed and got ready for our fun day together. It was a special do to honor our country and our veterans, so we decided to make it a great fun-filled day.

First, as always, the Devotion (she calls it the “commotion”). We then took a quick visit to the gym where she recited more of the pledge, wowing the staff.

Then, we hit Einstein’s Bagels for some “O” so wonderful whole wheat delights with extra cream cheese. We always do activities with the walls. She counted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13! That’s right, Tot, a dozen (baker’s style)

She loves this picture, especially the guy blowing the big “O”

Especially the edible ones.

Then we hit the PGA store. Why? I not only wanted to hit some balls myself, but I wanted to teach her a few swinging tricks. She had never seen me swing before, so after I swung, she yelled, “AWESOME!” She didn’t know I had a few skills. (Thank goodness she hasn’t seen a REAL golfer yet!)

I helped her set up.

She tried to then set up.

Ok, now take a swing, TOT!

HOORAY!!IMG_4688

 

We talked to Brad, my instructor on the way out, and he recommended some group Jr. lessons at the store in about a year. She’ll be ready!!! (And I’ll be ready to then take her on the greens.) Every time we drive by the courses, she now gets excited, and so do I! I think she’s just excited to ride in the cart.

We hit lunch at Panera on our way to Sportball. IMG_4693

She downed her turkey sandwich and apple as we studied the funnel lights (along with counting them).

Finally, after Sportball (they focused on basketball today), we headed home for some reading, playing, cleaning (for me), and playing with Coti.

I absolutely LOVE hanging out with my Tot ALL DAY LONG.

We ended the day with a special prayer for our Veterans. We’ll never understand or appreciate them enough.

Blessings all around.
