A few weeks ago, Thomas was able to experience one of the great joys in life (fore me anyway), the game of golf. Grandpa John, Uncle Pete, and I started without Thomas, who was in the midst of a nap, on a beautiful Minnesota evening. Nobody was having a phenomenal round, by any means, so we were all excited for the Boy to join us on the sixth hole. Thomas didn't particularly care for the golf cart (it was kind of windy and noisy when we got going). He made sure to hold on extra tight to me or Grandpa when we got moving. I told Thomas that when he becomes a professional golfer, he won't be allowed to use a golf cart anyway. Other than the cart issue, Thomas really seemed to enjoy his time on the golf course. I am going to make an effort to get him interested in golf as he grows up. I've spent a lot of quality time with my dad and brother on the golf course, and I look forward to spending that same time with my boy one day.

Makes me a tad bit sad that Thomas won't remember this special time. But, I know in the years to come many memories will be made on the golf course. :)
