A FULL DAY of KIDS

Friday, October 16, 2009 Today Jayden and Bailey didn’t have school and both Corey and Stacey had to work. So, of course I had the kids for the day which is fine with me. We had breakfast at McDonalds in Saratoga Springs and lunch at McDonalds in Saratoga Springs. Do you get the picture? For lunch Jayden ordered a double quarter pounder with cheese. Bailey got a double cheeseburger. I was smart enough not to order anything. I ended up eating two thirds of Jayden’s and half of Bailey's. Later Judy called and told me to meet her at Sizzler for steak. I was still full from lunch. Oh well! At about 3:30 the kids and I got in the car to meet Corey. I called him and he advised me that he was on the seventh fairway at the Ranches Golf Course so we drove to the clubhouse and waited for them (Corey, Greg, Mike and Danny) to finish. Bailey wanted to walk out on the course and meet them. I said they wouldn’t let her. She and Jayden, on their own went into the pro shop and asked the girl behind the counter if they could. Surprisingly she said yes. I explained that we had no idea where to look for them and anyway they should be about finished and would be back at the clubhouse before we could reach the bottom of the hill. A moment later we saw them on the ninth green with their final putts and then climb into there golf carts. While the kids were talking to the girl in the pro shop Jayden told her, “My dad’s the fat one that can’t golf and is a lousy driver!” speaking of the golf carts. (He had no way of knowing if Corey could drive a golf cart or not.) Today Bailey told me she is no longer going with Blake and then immediately reminded me that they never were girlfriend boyfriend. She has a new heartthrob named Quincy. Bailey said, “But Blake is still in my class.” Tonight Judy and I saw the movie Opa a romantic movie filmed on the Isle of Patmos. We quite enjoyed it though it didn’t get wonderful reviews.
