Indoor Miniature Golf

Our PTO is awesome! Every year, as one of their major fund-raisers, they sponsor an indoor miniature golf course that winds it's way for 18 holes throughout the halls of the elementary school. The staff goes all out designing creative and challenging holes for the kids to try out their putting skills. The course is open both Saturday and Sunday, and this year over 500 people came each day to do a little golfing. My class actually won a pizza party for having the most students from a class in attendance - 14 out of 21 kids!
The first grade theme this year was "Love Makes the World Go Around." We had the kids decorate cereal boxes for Valentine's Day and then used them as obstacles and edging - it was great because not only did we have a colorful golf hole, but we were also done with our Valentine decorating! Nothing like double duty! :-)
I took Charlie golfing on Saturday. He had a great time checking out all the holes, but he didn't really hit the ball very many times.
He actually tried to hit it on our hole (interesting grip, Charlie),
but then he picked up the ball and walked it down the "fairway,"
and placed the ball in the hole.
The theme of the kindergarten hole was "Angry Birds."
Needless to say, we didn't keep score!
He LOVED the red carpet from the Cheerleader's hole,
and he had fun crawling upstream with the fishies at the 3rd grade hole.
Where did that ball go?
Fortunately, we were there early on Saturday morning so we missed all the crowds and could take our time. I think we'll have to try this again next year!
