A trip to Lawrence, Kansas

I saw a posting on Facebook a couple of weeks ago where a golfer/friend was asking if anyone would be available to play in a pro-am in Lawrence, KS.  Being 28-weeks pregnant, I have been playing a little bit and figured... why not?!  Bob didn't mind the idea either and since it was a long Memorial Day weekend, we packed up the car and Graham too and off we went!  We stayed overnight in Joplin on Friday night - where Graham had slept most of the way and just as we pulled into the hotel, he woke up as said "We made it!".

The next morning, we were off to Lawrence and Graham spent half of the morning sleeping and then, the other half watching DVDs.

Once we checked into the hotel, we grabbed lunch at club before having to get ready for the pro-am.  Graham arrived in style :-)

And he wanted to wear his sunglasses again the next day during our drive to the park in the morning.

Daddy and Graham would play together by the playground while Mommy sat on a bench, chatting with another pregnant mom.  But after a while, I realized that my two boys were no longer by the playground.  I decided to see what they were up to under a tree.  Graham was happily digging with a stick.  He said he was "building a sand castle".

So Mommy decided to join in on the fun.

And just as we were about to leave, we had Graham sit on Daddy's shoulders and he would pretend to be a bull and chase Mommy around.  "Toro! Toro!"  He loves it!

Graham was quite tired by the time he got back into the car...

 but he still manages to play a little peek-a-boo :-)

It was a great trip despite the not-so-good golf.  Wow... what a golf course!  I'm glad I was in a cart on both days.  There were lots of rolling hills (I guess not all parts of Kansas is flat!) and the greens were firm and undulating.  The high winds did not help either!  We did meet some very nice people and who knows, maybe we'll have another road-trip to Lawrence again next year.  I'll definitely have to practice a little bit more to get my game in shape for that golf course!
