Last day!

Today we went to Beaudry Park and drove some golf balls and then we played some football and then we went to the women's softball game for about 45 minutes. Penny gave me a left handed and right handed driver so he thought it was funny to watch me try to hit a ball left handed the entire time. We worked on stance and keeping eyes on the ball and our knees bent. When he missed a ball it was usually due to not looking at the ball or standing up. After he got bored, we tossed the football around til we had to take the equipment back. He asked if we could go check out the womens softball game til he had to leave so we watched that for awhile and he liked that because he played little league for awhile.

Madden 12'

Willie really really wanted to play my roommates new Madden game on his xbox, so we played Madden. He was the giants of course and I picked the packers. I lost pretty badly, I never played a football video game before, so I had a hard enough time getting the controls down.

Last Guitar Lesson

Today we had our last guitar lesson. Willie remembered all the chords from last time which I was really suprised and proud of! I quickly learned two songs off youtube to teach him. One was "Honey Bee" which is a country song, so he loved it. The other I just stumbled upon, LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem." He doesn't like pop music so that song was very short lived. He caught on to the song pretty quickly and with some practice I think he would be pretty good at in in 3 weeks. However, we only have a week left and he would like to work on something else before we end project dream.

Easter Weekend

I didn't see Willie Friday, because I was home for Easter and I just want to show how cute my dog is :) Awwwww!

Shipwreck!

I wanted to take him to the driving range, but he thinks he will not be good at it and will think about it if we do more short range golf. So we did the outside course at shipwreck golf. He did improve a lot from the last time we went to the indoor course. However, once he gets really close to the hole, he tends to cheat a little bit, but all kids do that in mini-golf! One thing i did like about the outdoor course was that at some of the holes they had a wheel that you spun then you had to do what that wheel said, for example, "hit with the opposite end of the club at this hole" or "your first shot must be between the legs." So that was fun to watch each other trying to complete goofy maneuvers.

Golf!

Friday we took my two 9 irons I had laying around and some golf balls and went down to the back of the park and hit some golf balls. We are going to need a lot of work. I don't think he is use to hitting a golf ball. He did play baseball and he is using some of the mechanics he learned in hitting a baseball. He really enjoyed trying to see who could hit it the farthest! He beat me a lot. His parents are out of town for two weeks and he is staying with one of his parents friends. He showed me their dog who is a pure breed huskey! Beautiful! So we also played with the dog for awhile.

Guitar!

Willie is ALWAYS talking about his favorite country artist and how he is moving down to Tennessee to work for Blake Shelton and write his songs for him. When ever we are doing something he is always singing some song and asking me "who sings that?!" Luckily, I am a country fan myself. I took guitar lessons for a long time when I was little, but quit in high school when my sports were getting more consuming. I haven't touched my guitar since 8th grade and was hoping all my guitar knowledge would come flooding back to me! So I went home and got my guitar and brought it up for Willie, because I thought it would be cool for him to learn the songs of his favorite country artist! I learned a few songs, luckily guitar playing came back to me pretty quickly, and now I'm showing Willie to play some chords. Last Tuesday he learned the E-minor, E-major and C-major chords! He really enjoyed playing with my pedal and making the guitar make weird and crazy sounds out of the amp.
