::putt-putt::

Portie's been BEGGING Matt to take him golfing for days and days.  Matt kept telling him that one of these days he would.  He was thinking the driving range would be good but maybe dangerous for Bubb (because if Port goes so does Bubb), then we decided putt-putt would be a good alternative.  In Utah it's mini-golf, and the place by our house is Toads.  Since Monday is family night, today was the day.

They were SO excited!!  They had no idea what they were doing.  All they knew was that they were supposed to hit the ball towards the hole.  They (the 2 boys) didn't want any help whatsoever holding the putter the right way, swinging it the right way, or standing the right way, or anything!  "Dad I know how to do it!!" So after a couple of frustrating holes (for Matt) we just let 'em go.  It was pretty cute.  I got it on video for later when they really play golf.  We can show them how they thought you were supposed to putt.  Ha!


Chloe, on the other hand, wanted to do a good job.  She wanted to beat Matt on every hole.  She's a Jeppsen, what can we say :)  It was pretty cute how she would try to get the right stance and grip on the club.  She's ask Matt if it was right, and then she's swing.  She'd get so excited when her ball was close to the hole, and she'd get kinda mad when it took her a bunch of tries to get it in the hole.  Poor thing. :)

Mazie's was good in her stroller.  She got to hold a ball here and there, and sometimes she threw 'em.

It was fun.  HOT!!, but fun.  We'll have to do it again :)
