First Golf lesson.....




Today was a long day,.... to the gym in the morning, Cinderella ice production practice, then to the Chandler Fire Station to adjust a car seat. Every Saturday, the fire department has a car seat clinic. Another adoptive family gave us a really nice used car seat for use up to 60 pounds. She said she paid 300.00 for it. Since you need an engineering degree to install those things, I thought I would take it to the fire department to do it for me. Well, I guess I had another thing coming to me.... Since it was "used" and apparently over 6 years old, they would not install it. I had to sign a 3 page waiver,.... I guess so that they cannot be sued. Then, they gave us a new car seat! I had forgotten that the city of Chandler has free car seats. They confiscated our old one:) Next, they give you a demonstration on how to install it..... then... I had to install it myself with them watching.... then... they had to check everything. At least I know it is installed correctly and I also have done it correctly in the past.

Next, we went to Jasmine's first golf lesson. NYS (National Youth Sports) has just about every sport lesson for age 2 up to 18 years. The instructor, Bill Neal, has been teaching golf for 52 years. He recently just returned from India where he teaches golf there... as well as other "third world" countries.

Jasmine was misbehaving, so I told her we would try it one more week. 3pm is kind of her grumpy sleepy time, but I was really annoyed with her. I thought that next time we might go with the 3-4 year olds since she was acting like a baby.

All the 5-7 yr olds lined up working on their grip.
