More Spring Break Fun: Miniature Golfing!

After recovering from our long drive, one of our first excursions was to head out and find a fun miniature golf place.  Kenny decided that this one sounded like the best, so off to Congo River Golf we went.  We had a BLAST!!!

As you can see from some of our pictures above, it was absolutely gorgeous.  The most elaborate miniature golf course that we've ever done.  There were two courses; we decided to do the more challenging course.  





Some of the courses also had additional challenges.  A few examples were:

-  Ball Envy - After everyone has taken their first shot, switch ball positions with any opponent.

-  In the Way - After your first shot, stand anywhere on the course as an obstacle for an opponent's next shot (one shot only).

-  Topsy Turvy - Use the wrong end of your club to hit the ball on your first shot.

-  Hands On - Use only your hand to hit the ball on your first shot.

-  Runaway Ball - After everyone has taken their first shot, move an opponent's ball anywhere on the hole (must stay in bounds).

-  Against the Clock - You must complete the hole within 10 seconds after your first shot or suffer a 1 stroke penalty.

-  Crane Shot - Attempt your first shot balancing on one leg.

You spun before you played to see what your challenge was:



Here's Kenny after he spun the Crane Shot.  Fun, huh?  :-)



We also had some hole-in-one's!  Kenny got the first one, early on in the game.  UGH.  But we all at least got one, although I think Kyle showed the most enthusiasm for his achievement:



And Delaney managed to lose her golf ball down one of the holes, she did exactly what her brother did -- his went through fine.  But hers was never to be found in again, in fact, we lost another one trying to find hers!  We played the few holes that were left with only two golf balls.  The kids went first, then we did.



The last hole was VERY steep.  You just had to tap it over the edge, and gravity gave you all the speed you needed!  I'm hitting it over the edge in the top picture, and then I'm taking a picture of Kenny hitting his over from the bottom.  It was a ways down!



Good times!!!
