A Family Date Day

Will wore his Boston hat most of today - even in the bathtub & in the swimming pool.

Doesn't it just go so well with his smocked fly-fishing jon-jon he wore to church?

PS- the shirt he is wearing belonged to my little brother- 26 years ago! How cool is that? Thanks mom, for saving so many great vintage clothes!

We had a family date day yesterday although we had to modify it in several areas. We thought about starting out with a breakfast at Cracker Barrel but we all slept in (Will has been sleeping past 9am lately! Loving it! I think he's making up for all those early mornings he put me through last year!) And then, Ruby (our fearful golden retriever) disappeared right before a rain storm hit. Ruby is terrified of storms- have you seen my back door which she has destroyed?!!?! She even has prescription anti-anxiety pills for storms. She escaped somehow just before a storm & then rode it out hiding under our front bushes. Of course, we had no idea she was there & we all drove around our neighborhood searching & calling for her (Will mimicked Lady & the Tramp, yelling, "Ruby, oh Ruby!")
Finally, as Will & I were walking the aisles at the animal shelter (& amazed at how many dogs there resembled doggies from the pound scene in L & the T), Reagan called to say he had located her - in our own front yard. Needless to say, she had to get groomed yesterday & we did not go to breakfast. I did, however, make a very yummy b-fast which we enjoyed prior to realizing she was gone.
Then, once it cleared up, we took Will to play put-put.
I think we played 18 holes in 26 minutes.
It was a BLAST!
Will's strategy:
1. Hit the ball with his blue club
2. Kick the ball at some point
3. Go to the ball, pick it up, & carefully place it in the hole.

Will uses his entire upper body to swing a club while gripping it with his upper arm - quite impressive, actually.
He's gonna have great abs!
And, yes, he is wearing his zancos for the first time all week - the blister is looking much better- less puffy & we just thought he'd prefer put-put with zancos. Plus, it was only for 30 minutes.

My photographer friends are cringing, I know. But I just love the image of my boys holding hands yesterday. Excuse the blurriness.

Will figured out that it was much easier eventually to hit the ball down the "green" & then pick it up & place it in the hole.

Love his little expressions!

My boys!
