A 26th Birthday, Golf Baseball, and the Broom Trick

This past weekend Sean and Caitie came up to visit us and celebrate his 26th birthday. During the day the boys played golf while the girls went shopping. Then that evening mom made a delicious dinner of flank steak, broccoli, Caesar salad, and rice complete with a chocolate cake TO DIE FOR! After dinner we went outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. We started practicing our golf game and chipping practice turned into a new game Brian and Sean invented called Golf Baseball. Basically the “pitcher” chips a practice ball (or real ball if you’re feeling adventurous) to the batter, who uses the handle of a golf club to try to hit the ball back. It is surprisingly difficult but gave us at least a couple hours of entertainment! We were also resurrecting the “Broom Trick”. My dad’s friend invented this trick many years ago. It basically consists of stepping through the broom with your right leg, then around and back through with your left leg, then contorting your body without letting the broom out of your hands so that the broom comes over your head and then back down your back. Sean, Caitie, and I were able to do it and we got a KICK out of Brian trying to do it! LOL! (Those of you who know Brian can envision how funny that actually was.) Sean was also able to jump through the broom with both legs at the same time without dropping it. (It was a feat very difficult and something that I couldn’t muster the courage to even try.) All-in-all it was a great time. Happy Birthday Bud!! Sarah's try at the Broom Trick

The Broom Trick got the best of Brian
