This was maybe a few months ago. Eric wanted to go to the driving range and since there's a cafe and a playground the boys and I went too. Keenan insisted on bringing his golf club set too! Keenan practiced on the putting range while I enjoyed a cool beverage and Van napped in the Ergo carrier. It was relaxing... until a few older boys showed up (maybe 8 or 9 years old). They were being jerks to Keenan, taking his golf balls, his clubs, standing in his way so he couldn't put around. I could tell he was getting really frustrated and mad, I resisted intervening as long as I could. When they started throwing his clubs over the fence where the driving range was I lost it. I might have already gone over to tell the boys NO a few times, but when they did that I got mad, chewed them out in a language they probably didn't understand then bitched at their parents who were sitting at the table next to me. Seriously, who lets their kids bully up on a much younger kid right in front of them?? After that the mean boys and their oblivious parents left. Good riddance! Watch out because Mama bear is on the prowl!

Good for you, mama! It's hard to know when to let kids work things out on their own and when to intervene, but you definitely made the right choice. Love all the new pics--looks like you guys are making the most of summertime!
