First outing to the Golf Club

Bobby and I decided it was time to take little Graham to the golf club! So last Sunday on July 4th, we packed him up and headed out. It was a rather warm day so we were planning on hitting balls in the indoor shed. When we arrived at the club and drove our golf cart to the shed, it was locked! We figured it was cool enough under a tree, so we parked the cart with Graham's carseat on it and started hitting balls on the grass section of the driving range instead.
After about 5 shots, I decided to check on Graham. Just as I was approaching the golf cart, he starting crying! So I picked him up and that was almost the end of it. Thankfully, after a few minutes, one of the bag boys showed up on the driving range. We asked him to head back to the pro-shop to pick up the key to unlock the shed. For some reason, I thought the shed would have an air conditioner, but I was wrong. There was this dinky fan on the side... guess it's better than nothing! Little Graham finally calmed down a little, but then after awhile he started crying again! So while Bobby was trying to calm him down, I would hit balls off the indoor mat. Needless to say, that didn't last very long (as I was feeling so out of shape too!). We finally figured out that he had a poopy diaper and he also stained his onesie! But even after a clean diaper, the crying continued. Then we figured out he was hungry. So after feeding him in the shed, Graham finally decided he was tired and went to sleep.
By now, a couple hours had already gone by and it was pretty much time to go. We wanted to get to a restaurant for dinner before the crowd. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed, so we ended up going to a Vietnamese restaurant close by instead. That was probably a better idea because the restaurant was really quiet and Graham started to fuss again! I ended up holding him in one hand and trying to eat my noodles with the other! Let's just say by the end of it all, we were all pretty beat by the time we got home! Of course, little Graham got a head start - he was out by the time he got back into his carseat in the car! Little stinker!
