NANNEY'S SHOOT A BOGEY AT COLONIAL

Ryan won two tickets to The Colonial. We had just been talking how we've enjoyed going to the Bryon Nelson but have never it made it to the other local golf tournament. We were very excited. Even though Noah came down with pink eye Friday night, all was under control, and we thought it safe to venture to the tournament Sunday morning.

Maybe the first sign that our day was to not go smoothly is that we skipped church. Then we started out at McDonald's with cold beverages. Noah drank a lot of orange juice quickly. Our thought: wow, he was thirsty!

Noah's starting to whine a bit when we're arming ourselves with sunscreen and before we venture onto the shuttle to take us to the grounds. Nothing out of the ordinary though.

It's warm out, but nothing a little cool air can't fix in the retail tents every hour or so. We thought it was a little weird when we were finally cooling off and Noah was starting to whine more. Hmm, maybe he doesn't like golf. We continue to venture further into the course.

We found Ben Crane, a professional golfer who attends our church, so we thought we'd stop to watch him line up his shot on the 17th. Just then, Noah starts wailing. The only time we stopped to watch a golfer and our kid is screaming. We yank him out of the stroller and run down the hill hoping it's out of ear shot of most golfers. Noah's inconsolable and can't begin to figure what's wrong with him, and then he vomits! He vomited all his orange juice just of the 17th fairway on me and all over himself. Yup, we were those people!

So we calmed him and stripped him down and carried him all the way back to the shuttle. We did catch a glimpse of Jim Furyk and watch Vijay Singh warming up, but that's about all.

We remembered something the doc said at urgent care regarding Noah's pink eye. If it's viral, he may experience flu- or cold-like symptoms later on. We gathered that was it. He was so uncomfortable the rest of the day and after a round of Tylenol, slept most of his discomfort off, yet the pink eye continued for almost two weeks.

So much hope and excitement around these tickets!

Noah was ready to go! No signs of flu or cold.

Post 2-hour nap in his crib - he wound up in our bed for another 2 hours.
