Putt Putt

Our public library has a reading program and for every reading log the children finish, they get to choose a coupon to a local establishment. All of the children chose putt putt on one occasion so after several failed attempts, we finally made it to putt putt. D had been once before, but this was the first time for both girls.
Here they are on the course...
D did great!! He actually played very well and we'll make a point to take him again (without the girls!!). He gave Paul a run for his money with how well he played so they'll need to schedule a play off match.
E came with her "do it m'self" attitude and refused any instruction.
She was bound and determined, though, to get that ball in the hole with her stick no matter how many times she had to hit it
or how many times she had to place the ball next to the hole so she could hit it in with her stick.
L started out great for about the first two holes.
Then she got distracted with rolly polies..
singing in her "microphone" (the putting stick), modeling on the course,
and who knows what else.
All in all it was a fun experience that we won't repeat as a family for some time.

Those are great pictures! Our boys love putt putt, but we don't go too often. We'll have to go again soon. It's nice that your library gives coupons you can actually use. We got tickets to the circus, which is great, except for the fact that we would still have to pay for me and Jerry and parking. Fortunately, the circus is only here one day longer than we are on vacation so we told the boys that we were going to be in Oregon while it is here and that's that.
