First Miniature Golf

Today, for the first time, Ethan and Maya played miniature golf with us. Ethan was complaining when we first arrived. He could see a pool and some water slides just next to the course and wanted to go over there instead. We coaxed him onto the course. He waited, rather impatiently, for our turn to start.

Although we tried to teach him correct hand position, etc., that all went out the window with our four year old. We gradually made our way around the 18 holes, Ethan helping all of us with our puts. Ethan tried to hit every water hazard and sometimes tried to do a hole two or three times. Luckily the group behind us was quite slow, so we had no problems taking our time.

Maya just wanted to be in the middle of everything, literally. She sat down in the middle of the greens and grabbed at balls. We tried to play around her as best we could. Maya often used her new favorite word "share" to ask to hold the ball. Then she would chuck the ball to the ground. This was a little challenging when walking between holes, juggling the clubs, camera and baby while trying to keep up with Ethan.

All in all, we had a blast. Ethan already asked to go back "next week" which loosely translated means tomorrow.
