Well as the summer has continued we have continued with the golf ball hunting craze at our house. Nathan's Dad Steve has also joined in and is as hooked as Nathan is. Along with finding golf balls, they recently found a rattlesnake. I am just glad it didn't find them and bite them, it really was quite the scare. We have so many golf balls now that we have put them organized into large 18 gallon totes into the garage. The kids get all the colored balls, Elise loves the pink, and Brycen the yellow, so those are still all over the house. I am just not sure what we will do when the 18 gallon totes are full.
Some interesting facts from the hunting:
Golf ball colors we have found: yellow, pink, orange, green, blue, purple, silver, and gold
The most found in one day was 197 golf balls
The most found so far in one month was July with about 1,100
The total of golf balls we have in the storage bins in the garage is 3,749
The type we have most of is Titleist
Yes, we have a spread sheet on the computer with the complete type, name, and count of each kind

Anyone want to buy any!
Elise drew this portrait of Brycen Golf Ball Hunting, I LOVE IT!
This is an old photo but I enjoy it and seeing the creativity that the kids had with the colored golf balls to arrange them this way. I walked in the front room and found them this way and grabbed the camera. Glad they can use them as part of the decor of our home.

That is so funny! Brittney, you have to be the MOST organized person I know - totes, spreadsheets, colors... WOW!
Holy Moly that is a lot of golf balls. You guys make me laugh, but I am VERY impressed with the organization as well. Each in a nice tote, with a label. That is awesome. I hope you sell them all :)
It was great to see you the other day.
I am laughing at your picture. That is one for the books. I have been meaning to check and see if we have a new baby yet. I've been panicked that I missed it. Hope you're all doing well! Let me know when the big day comes.
oh my gosh!!!!
A spreadsheet. You are hilarious.
I love the golf decor. I once heard someone say that "your house should be filled with the things you love and you will love it there." The golf balls should be everyday decor. They represent you guys.
Also I love love love Elise's depiction of Brycen.
