Miniature Golf

We took the kids miniature golfing for the first time last week and it was a lot of fun. It was a course that was pretty beat up, but it was cheap and it was their first time so they didn’t care at all. We had all 14 holes to ourselves for the entire time we were there and they had a playground area and teepee for the kids to play on after the golfing. Needless to say, the golfing was interesting. They both could hit the ball and get it close to the hole and a couple of times the ball even went in the hole. Most of the time, Bryce would hit it the first ball and it would go in the right direction. He might try a couple of other times, but then he would pick the ball up and place it within an inch or two from the hole, then hit it in. It was pretty funny to watch and especially funny on one hole where the hole was on a slight hill, so when he placed the ball next to the hole it would roll down the hill and he couldn’t hit it in. He went back and picked the ball up and placed it next to the hole, and again it rolled down the hill before he could hit it in. He repeated the same thing a few times and then placed the ball above the hill and it rolled into the hole! He got the ball out of the cup and went to the next hole.

Lonna played the holes without cheating too much, but got bored with the actual golfing within a few holes and then just wanted to play on the golf cart they had or run around the course.
