Activity time: 30 mins
Somehow, Zachary has developed an interest in golf. Neither Mike nor I golf, but I know where this came from. On days when we were having a tough time getting him down for his nap, I’d let him nap in our bed and would put something quasi-boring on the TV to keep him engaged enough to stay put in the bed, but not too engaged to the point where he’d fight sleep. The options tended to be golf or a cooking show. Zach would talk about golf, ask to go golfing, has plastic toy golf clubs… and one day when our previously scheduled plans fell through, we decided to go miniature golfing.
We didn’t know what to expect. Zach at 4 totally got it. Elijah at 2, not so much. But he enjoyed getting a colorful ball and a club. He spent most of his time running after the ball each time someone putt, and retrieving it and handing it back to its owner. He also enjoyed the water features at the course. Even with our delays, we covered the 18 holes in under 30 minutes, and had a great time in the sun.
Bonus: our mini golf course also had a kid-friendly (i.e. slow) batting cage with ball machine. This was a great way to extend our outing. Mike and Zach each had their first batting cage experience and had a blast, and Elijah really enjoyed watching them hit.
