golf day

it didn't look very promising for golf today, but when we woke up this morning the weather forecast had changed and the guys were able to go play.  nana and liz came over to the house and i let them play with the kids while i made myself busy elsewhere.  we went out for some lunch at chick-fil-a which was a nice treat for the kids and me.

now madelyn had an utter and complete meltdown when she heard that we were going to chick-fil-a.  it was largely the tiredness of the week setting in and thankfully she got over it before we got there but i was throughly embarassed to have her behave that way in front of guests.  the essential argument was that she was never going to eat another meal unless we went to mcdonalds.  i told her that would be fine but we are going to chick-fil-a.  eating or not was her choice.  and she loved her lunch once we were there and was sweet as sugar.

liz was able to catch up with a very social manning while the big kids and nana played in the play area.  apparently, manning told liz that he wants a green jeep when he turns 16, but she told him that he would have to get a job to pay for it.

the guys finished up their round while we were at lunch and we all met back at the house for a pizza dinner.  then one last treat before saying good-bye - ice cream! 

maddux knew that he hadn't been in the group shot and asked for a separate picture.

the yummy treats were a nice way to end our visit.  we had to cut it a little short in order to get the kids home and in bed for their school week.  thanks for coming (and feeding us), guys!  love.
