the golf trip...

Camryn is an aspiring golfer, really she is. She has wanted to "play" golf for quite awhile now. Her daddy bought her a set of kids clubs, complete with a bag and everything...so she had all the right stuff to golf, just hadn't had the big opportunity. We are excited to let her pursue golf as it is a sport that she can physically play now, some of her muscle tone has been lost and it is difficult for her to do some things; but golf we thought it would be perfect.

Well, Jason's dad is an avid golfer, would golf everyday all day if he could...so the golf bug is big in the Mikels family. Both Jason and his brother are golfers and would love to go more than they do, but alas they had jobs that don't have such a flexible schedule. :) Anyways, for Camryn's birthday she asked for a golf day with her Grandpa...cutest thing ever.

When she opened her card from Jason's parents there it was a gift certificate for a trip to the driving range with her Grandpa and Grandma too!

We arrange the day Grandma would pick Camryn up and then they would head to the club to meet Grandpa get some lunch and then head to the driving range. Camryn was nervous, she did not know what to expect. Plus, we had to lay out her "golf" outfit the night before to make sure it was perfect. Monday came, and off she went on her golf adventure....

Cute little golfer...seriously I think she could be on the LPGA, what do you think?



Getting the lesson in how to hold the club correctly.



Taking a swing...



Grandpa was proud of how well Camryn listening and followed directions..."she did what I told her to." Good Job Cam!



I love this picture...classic golf shot, but even better her Grandpa looking on with pride. Love this...


**if you look real close the yellow balls are the ones that Camryn hit. yes, she actually hit balls and as her Daddy said, "it's a good sign that they are all straight out in front of her!"**

Now to the putting green...




She might have just sunk that putt...



More lessons from Grandpa...



The two golfers...Grandpa & Camryn



And there are no pictures of Grandma, because she was behind the camera...but, this ice cream stop at the end of the day is a Camryn & Grandma tradition. :)



Camryn had a very special day with two very special people. One of the greatest blessings in my opinion is that Camryn and Wyatt both have their grandparents close by to be with, learn from, and for their grandparents to leave a legacy in. Some of my dearest memories of childhood are with my grandparents and I am so thankful that Camryn & Wyatt are creating memories that will last forever with our parents. Truly a gift.

Plus, a little bit of the Mikels family tradition of golfing was passed down from Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, Daddy, and now Camryn.

Next up...the lefty Wyatt.
