Two Track Golfing



Scott, Spencer and I took a much needed weekend of Vacation starting Friday and headed north to the Cottage. We decided to road trip up to Chestnut Hills golf course Friday after lunch at the Heide Hoff in Freesoil. We arrived at the course after an hour or more drive to see a club house that look more like a abandon home with a snack bar. There were golf carts in all sorts of status everywhere, no wheel, no engine, no back end, but we decided to give it a whirl as the weather was perfect! We played learning golf to help Spencer and I get a better feel for the game. All I need in my bag is a 1 iron, 3 iron, 9 iron and putter. The rest is just for show. I am still using tees that Andrea gave away at her wedding!( Guess maybe I should play a little more often huh? It was a great day, even through on hole # 8 we kept hearing this unbeliveable buzz and realized there was a bee hive farm around the corner. Yikes as we did not have an Eppi pen with us and Scott is allergic to bees. The Cart path at this course was so washed out that it was almost like going two tracking all day! We ended the day with pizza and beer at our weekend Friday hangout the Oasis with some Walhalla freinds. Saturday we attended a wedding on the beach at Big Star and then some tubing with Spencer and his friends on Long Lake. The lake is really warm this time of year and it was big fun. I think all the kids were sore on Sunday but the fun continued through Sunday.

Walhalla Fourth of July

















The weekend of the fourth we had a "crew" at the cottage, Ang & Kevin and the boys, Kate and Gary , Abbey & Rob and Spencer. Luckily we had enough room for everyone to camp and the weather was wonderful. Chase and Logan were so much fun and they did great with Cameo and Mackinaw. Laurie and Ned Karsten who stayed at Big Star , (due to lack of any additional lodging at my cottage) were in and out all weekend. The whole weekend was great and I hope to have everyone back soon!
I ate too much, drank to much and slept to little. I need a nap.

By sunday night I was not ready to come home :-(. I never am. My second home is my first choice!
