Our Mission

Saturday Caleb and I went shopping... with the money he got from selling one of his guns (WHOOOO HOOO!!) After buying me a pair of shoes (what a great guy huh?) he wanted to get some golf clubs/essentials (to try to help his game- not sure how it's working out) BUT we ended up talking to one of the sales associates who said they lived on a golf course and his son was given a ball retriever and set up his own business on the course... like a lemonade stand, but selling used golf balls... cha-ching! He became super rich at the age of about 5 I'm sure! Anyways, Caleb and I thought that was a GENIUS idea, so last night, when it was really dark, we headed over to the golf course... only to see that the sprinkler system was on... and directly over our "area" that we had scoped out and thought that we would have the best return... so in between the sprinkler rotation I found myself: A. looking for cars/lights/people and B. holding a pail while telling Caleb he had about .05 seconds to run before the sprinklers got him... between dodging the sprinklers, and running back to the "dry area", then running back to the pond (where all the balls were!), I couldn't stop laughing as Caleb would shine his flashlight around the bottom of the pond to search for balls, nabbing one, then me, trying to take the ball out of the retriever as quick as I could... I was way too nervous about the whole "mission" that after getting back home, and cleaning them, when he asked if I wanted to go back AGAIN I stayed in bed... waiting for a knock on the door with Caleb in cuffs and an MP escorting him... none of which happened, thankfully ;) BUT we had a great time... and may/may not just start a business out of this ;)
