Labor Day Golfing

On Labor Day we wanted to go do something fun with the kids since they were off of school, and Jeff was home from work. We decided that it would be fun to take the kids to go play miniature golf. We hadn't been since Ethan was little, and our only kid. There are a few things I forgot-- 1. There is no reason to pay for yourself. Watching and helping your kids is fun enough. 2. It is amazing how fast a kid can play 18 holes of golf. I think that we were done in 20 minutes. Way to burn through the money! 3. Having fun is its own reward. Unless you are a five year old girl- then you want to know what the prize is for finishing in 20 minutes. What no prize! Then a good cry and temper tantrum will have to suffice.


Mark, Kelly, Davis and Jack came with us as well as Kelly's sister and her son, Dallin. Mark managed to get a hole in one while carrying Jack around like a professional mother kangaroo. And Davis, Ethan, and Dallin were always about two holes ahead of everyone else. (It's that speed golfing again.) Since we finished a little earlier than planned we headed over to the fun park for a little while to burn the rest of the daylight. I hope that the kids had lots of fun- it might be a while before we go back again. (At least K was free!)
