As mentioned in a previous post, Palm Desert was again a special trip. It is so fun to see the kids grow and learn in so many ways after they spend countless hours outside playing and discovering. After this winter and spring and the awful weather we have had, it's the first time in my entire life that I have contemplated moving to a sunnier location. I LOVE Seattle - the water, the mountains, the people...but this winter has been gloomy and I am ready for some sunshine in Seattle.
Okay, back to Palm Desert. One of my favorite memories of Palm Desert this year is Andy's obsession with golfing. This trip he actually was able to go out on the golf course with Bapa and play a couple of holes. It melted my heart to see him mimic Bapa's every move and see how excited he got when he made contact with the ball. He even wanted to sleep with the golf hat that Bapa gave him as well as the green tee that he found. Andy also is a very encouraging golf partner. EVERY time you hit the ball he yells - NICE SHOT! or IN THE HOLE! He likes to yell out to random players as they tee off in front of my parent's house. He even compliments his own shots : ) To set the record straight - Andy loves golf - but he is 2 1/2...so we are encouraging his excitement, loving playing with him, but not so worried about his backwards grip, that he can't decide if he is a lefty or a righty (even with a right hand club), and that he putts so softly that it takes about 20 shots to move 10 feet.
