Girls can play quietly for a good length of time, but boys (little bundles of testosterone) need to work off their energy by running, jumping, climbing, etc. We like to get the boys all pooped out at the park, then they're content to decompress and chill out.

On a whim, I started my perpetual motion machines, aka grandsons, ages 5 and 7, playing golf. Now I pick them up after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and off to the links we go.

Bucket of balls, practice putting, 18 holes.

Back to the house for dinner.

Drive them home to my daughter's and they are usually asleep by 8:30.

My daughter calls me her hero.
