There was lots to do at Callaway. We were never bored, and often had too many different things to choose from. Adding to the fun was the presence of a lot of Ashley's family. Her parents were there, here brother Dave, his wife, Kathy, and their kids, Teddy and Charlie. Bode loves Teddy and Charlie. Every morning, first question he'd ask was, "Where's Teddy?" We had to explain (often) that Teddy was at his cabin with his Mommy and Daddy. This always seemed to perplex Bode.
Callaway has a wonderful Butterfly center. We met up with Ashley's cousin Penny, who also came to Callaway with her husband, Milton, their kids Chelsea, Cricket, and Calley, her parents, Dwight and Pattie, and a friend of Chelsea's who happens to be named Chelsea, which just adds to the confusion. Here's a picture of Ashley, Penny, and Bode in front of the Butterfly Center.
When we got inside and started walking around, Bode wanted to take some pictures. Here he is reaching for the camera.
The boy takes a pretty good picture. Here are some of the butterflies.
We then convinced him to sit on my lap. Ashley snapped this photo of the two of us.
The funniest part of the day was when Dave wanted to get a picture of Teddy with this crayon drawing of this cartoon character. Evidently they take this drawing everywhere, snap a picture, and send it to Teddy's maternal grandmother (or something like that.). Here's Bode and Teddy getting ready for a picture with Dougie the Flat (I've no idea why this is the name).
Next we have an actual picture of the boys and Dougie. So far so good.
Next, something horrible happens. Teddy drops Dougie. You can see him down by the guard rail.
Sadly, Dougie ended up in the water. Teddy was distraught.
Fortunately, Dave was able to find someone to help fish Dougie back to safety.
They got most of Dougie back, although he's missing as ear. Teddy was consoled, and in the end, everything was fine.
Next up: Golf and duck-duck-goose.
