Friday Last

The next couple of posts are catch up posts from our family times August 22-24. Friday August 22nd dawned with a trip to the golf course for the guys. After breakfast, Laura made her way to Dan and Jamie’s with some projects for Addy and JJ to enjoy. I stayed home to bake a dessert for Friday’s dinner and our celebration of Josh and Laura’s anniversary.

After golf and craft projects, the rest of the day was spent at Dan and Jamie’s playing, walking and having meals together.

An after dinner walk is always good.

 

After the sun set we enjoyed some table games, Phase 10 and Skyjo.

We are really enjoying this game and recommend it.

We introduced it to our family earlier this year and continue to introduce it to others, too.

Hooray, Laura shared the actual shot of all of us playing Skyjo on this Friday evening on Bayles Mountain. Thank you, Laura, for this photo and all your photos!

Saturday was a full day with the NE Washington Fair  and parade. That will be a full photo post tomorrow.

Scotland Travel Journal ~ St. Michaels Golf Club

On Friday September 20th Josh was able to tuck away a goal by playing a round of golf in the country where it is said that the game of golf originated.

Golf in Scotland was first recorded in the Scottish late Middle Ages, and the modern game of golf was first developed and established in the country.

After a nice early breakfast at our lodgings, Josh and Laura drove the very short distance to St. Michaels Golf Club. There was a one track bridge with limited sight to cross to get into the club where you were directed to honk so that you wouldn’t meet another vehicle head on.

Laura kept Josh company getting some great photos and adding thousands of steps to this 22,000+ step day!

Borrowed clubs and cart in tow, he set out on the course.

The owner of the lodge we were staying in gave Josh a bag of golf balls for his game.

Yippee for the one and only red squirrel that was spotted on our trip. Well done, Laura!

Greg and I enjoyed a leisurely morning in the lodge while Josh golfed. Josh and Laura returned before noon for our afternoon in St. Andrews, just a short distance from our lodgings. As you can see this was a rare cloudy and overcast day that we experienced on our Scotland travels.

Our Scotland Travel Journal serves to keep our memories alive and to remind us of God’s care and provision in our travels. Thank you for traveling along with us.
