Mini Golf


Savannah's end of the year get together was at a miniture golf course. I was dreading it because I had to bring the twins. I was sure the water and other golfer's balls would be a disaster. Surprisingly, the twins were on their best behavior. They simulated into Savannah's class, walked in line and listened to directions. Soon we were golfing. Funny that this was Savannah's event and I spent very little time with her. I was with the twins on our own hole most of the time.

Lila prooved to have some talent, albeit from her knees. She would sit the ball two feet away, kneel and then hit it in the hole. She made it quite frequently. Adeline tried but usually hit it too hard if even hitting it at all. She was soon distracted by the water and was madly throwing her ball in the ponds whenever out of my eye sight. She would toss it, look at me with a huge smile and give me her fake laugh. I would then fish out the ball with the net to only do it all over again two minutes later.

Savannah was reported to be a very serious golfer. Surprise surprise. . . does she do anything half heartedly? She was very proud of her performance and had to take me back to where she hit the ball up a steep hill.

After two and a half hours of golf we were off to a park for lunch with friends. The girls held up really well. We were outside for five and a half hours today with no breakdowns. The girls enjoyed the fun in the sun. I have to imagine they are going to sleep their life away for this nap as they were go go go the entire time. Can you tell how happy we are to be outside again after a very long winter?!

The favorite hole was a when the ball went in a tube and magically appeared below.
