Golf Ball Hunting

I don't even know how it started, but some how, some way Nathan came up with this idea of going and looking for all the golf balls that he could find on the outskirts of a certain golf course. I am not allowed to disclose the location. I already knew that when Nathan is golfing he loves to come home with more golf balls then he started with, by looking in the bushes for what other golfers have lost. Anyway that is what we have been doing any chance Nathan gets and there is still sunlight to see. It has really helped Nathan as a stress reliever and since we have had more than enough stress for a year or so I am just happy it helps. We all go to the golf course and walk in the weeds and fields surrounding and look for as many golf balls we can find I think our total count is in the 800+ range, but you'd have to ask Nathan for sure. Brycen has absolutely loved doing this and gets into it as much as Nathan.

Its cute to see it greater build the relationship they have, and to see how much Brycen is like his dad. Brycen has learned all the names of the type of the golf balls by sight since he doesn't yet know how to read. See the video below. Elise on the other hand doesn't really like it and the moment we get out there begins whining. Her latest has been that she has to go to the bathroom so that she gets to go back to the car, where in which she then doesn't have to go anymore. We have even got Nathan's dad out with us this last week. Its true that even I have to admit but even you get a sense of excitement when you find some lost hidden, little white golf ball. Nathan has now gotten mucking, or cow milking boots from my parents to wear which he loves to wear in all the cat tails that are exploding and all the smelly swampy mud. Don't even ask me what my laundry is like. I could barely handle it before. Now the question just is what will Nathan do when it snows, his response head to St. George. Enjoy the photos and the fact that the Miller's are CRAZY!

Oh, this is the funniest thing i've ever seen. You can tell Nathan we'll send him some shiny, new golf balls for Christmas. But maybe you could hide them in the yard to make it a little more fun!!
