How was your weekend…and Mother’s Day? Were you smothered with love, attention, and chocolate? I was blessed with all three. In fact, I had the perfect weekend trifecta…Mr. SP treated me to an afternoon all by myself at the spa, a date night with just him, and a family outing! Ah, if only every weekend could be Mother’s Day. Let’s start a petition to make that happen…who’s with me!?
When the kids were younger, we spent our fair share of time on the miniature golf courses…but now we’re ready for an upgrade. We’ve been wanting to hit up Top Golf for awhile (a point-scoring golf range), but the constant rain has been driving a wedge in our outdoor plans #punny. Seriously, we’re in ark-building mode over here! We finally caught a small break, and headed outside while we could.
Mr. SP was totally in his element…the rest of us were just there to hit things. And eat. But really, is there anything sweeter than these little moments between daddy and daughter?! These two are peas in a pod…
Our son caught on pretty quickly…I think just so dad would stop ‘coaching.’ 😉
I was not so agile…please note the location of the ball after my very spirited swing.
Which led to more coaching…but I’m not complaining.
The kids thought it was hilarious watching me try to hit that damn little, white ball!
I finally decided the food was more fun.
When did he get this big?! #uglycry
We aren’t joining a golf tour any time soon, but we had a great time trying something new together. Have you been to Top Golf? What activities do you enjoy for family date nights?
Update: My mom just informed me that people don’t usually wear maxi skirts to play golf. But I wasn’t actually playing golf…I was swinging a club and drinking beer. So HA! 😉 I also had this darling scarf on most of the time…which likely isn’t golf-friendly either. #askmeifIcare

The pictures of your family are so, so sweet. It looks like you had a great time together! I, too, can barely hit the ball. I try a few times, get frustrated, and then get ice cream to eat while I watch my husband and son. Much better! 🙂
Happy belated Mother's Day!

Forget about the golfing….let's talk about those burgers!!!!!!
Yes ma'am….they were delish!!! Much better than my swing!
sounds like the perfect weekend! happy mothers day cassie! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
That last pic of your daughter has me cracking up!!
That girl….I have no idea where she gets all that hamminess! 😉 #totallyherdad
Greats pics of the golfing sessions. I like the one with Mr SP snuggled up behind you to "check your form". And golfing in a maxi skirt – that takes panache. :). Please pass the rain the California. We need it!
Ha! I was like, 'Okay, I got it!' but he kept 'trying to show me.' 😉 And funny about the maxi skirt…I wondered on our way there if my outfit choice would be an issue! I didn't even think about that when I was getting dressed! Turns out, it was fine for sitting and eating! 😉
I love you daugther's sense of style. One part girly and one part tomboy. She looks adorable.
She definitely brings her own flair, and has an opinion about it!
You're family is the cutest ever! I love your sons pose in the first picture though, and how your daughter embraces her girly side AND her tomboy side! BTW do you EVER take a bad picture?? #hotmama
Yes ma'am I take more bad pics than good…I just don't publish them! It is my blog afterall! 😉 oxoxo
the hubs and i went to Top Golf in Scottsdale and LOVED it… so fun, and I'm not a golfer!!!! our family fav dates include going to the local stadium for baseball games, frozen on ice (shocking), picnics at the park, and taking them to the local winery for their bonfires and family nights
I want to live near a local winery for a bonfire family night!! That sounds amazing!
Looks like so much fun! There's a Top Golf going in about a mile from us, we're excited to try it out!
First of all….that picture of your sweet girl with her nose all crinkled up is A-dorable!! Oh my goodness I love all those freckles. And look at you all fashionable in your maxi at the golf range…you go! Keith & I went to Top Golf for the first time on our anniversary last August and it was so much fun…we had some great laughs and it helps they serve alcohol!! Have a great week!
Such a fun family night. I still can't play golf after many many lessons! But the boys in our family love it. Cute family photos, too. Can't believe how big J is getting. Happens too fast.
We are headed to Dallas this week and are talking about going to Top Golf! I am terrible but it always looks so fun!
Daddy/daughter golf is the sweetest! We have a Top Golf here that everyone raves about, but it takes a long time to get a reservation. I have heard the food is great! Looks like you enjoyed it! 🙂
Seriously….I love your cute little family! You guys are adorable and I can see how much fun you have together. That picture of your hubby with your daughter almost made me cry!! It just shows how a Father's love and guidance is so important. I know she will cherish that as she grows. I think I'm going to plan an outing to TopGolf for Father's Day for my hubs. I'll be sitting and eating also:)

We were suppose to go to topgolf this weekend as well but the weather was horrible… looks like you had a perfect Family Date! 🙂
Love the idea of Top Golf! We don't have one here in San Diego (I don't think). Great family date night and I agree with the upgrade, so cool!
you're so silly. my first thought… she DID NOT wear a maxi to golf, did she?!? #imagolfer #atleastyoudidntwearheels and mr sp is a good coach…. holding your head steady. #keepyoureyeontheball
thanks for sharing..
I'm horrible at the driving range too! Mini golf is definitely more my speed! A maxi skirt may not be normal golf attire but at least you looked cute! I would have stuck with the food too 😉
Your family is the cutest! So glad you got spoiled for Mother's Day! 🙂
Cute family. I loved going to the driving range when I was a kid.
