First Family Putt-Putt: a Questionable Success

July 22, 2012 by momindcity 6 Comments

Earlier this week, I was looking for things to help fill the rest of our time at Bethany Beach. I shared my top 10 beach ideas list and received some great suggestions from MomInDCity readers. But the most entertaining one came from Dave; he decided it was time that we all channel our inner Tiger Woods (minus the cheating and inappropriate texts) and go play mini golf.

Things started out pretty well… Dave coaching on the Practice Green and the girls getting their game faces on.

 

So much hope and promise
Don’t they look excited?!

We made it through the first few holes without much drama, but there was a family in front of us, which means we had some down time before each turn. That gave the girls time to realize that a putt-putt course is like a playground on steroids. We could barely find them after the fifth hole– especially the 2-year-old.

Not a rule follower

Our most effective threat, “do you want to go sit with the lifeguard?”, which usually sends chills down her spine, did nothing. During those few times that we managed to keep her on the course, she’d sit in the middle of the green.

Get off the green!

When we’d ignore her, she’d find something else she wasn’t supposed to touch.

Big Sis thinks this is a great idea

Despite my pleas, Dave was determined to finish the course. We somehow managed not to get kicked out, which probably had something to do with the fact that we were the only people there who weren’t drunk. I obviously beat Dave, (this may or may not be true, but it’s my blog so I get to say whatever I want), and Lira perfected her swing. Also, those golf clubs are weapons, and nobody got hurt; I call that a success right there.

Thinking of going pro

I hear there’s currently a mini golf course at the National Building Museum in DC. Dare we try again?

    Your captions are hilarious! And LOL on them dipping their feet in the water. Bravo to you for taking your kids to putt putt and finishing the course! I wouldn’t even dream of bringing my 2 yr old! And NBM — I’m learning so much about DC from you. Thankyou! No longer do we have to be stuck at home on wknds! Can’t wait to see how the putt putt at NBM goes — with other small children around I bet!

        We live in Germantown and are considering a move to Frederick-ish to save $$ on rent. I know, shudder. I am posting about this tmr. We’d LIKE to take our son to museums and farms and stuff, but really just end up putzing around the house or at Target on weekends. Guess we should try to make more of an effort. So the answer to your question is, not much 😉

    Hi! I found your blog and bloggy moms and I loved this post! I have a 1 1/2 year old and we talk about mini golfing with her, but aren’t sure if she is ready! Great to read about another moms experience!

      Thanks for stopping by! You should totally try mini golf! Just don’t go in thinking you’re going to play an actual game. You’ll still have fun watching your little one on the green.
