Finally Some Mini-Golf

JUNE-I don't think we were able to make it out last year, but I made sure we got some putt putt in this summer. I was getting ready to leave for my annual baseball trip, and I really wanted something fun for us to do as a family, and this was it. All the kids did well and had a good time. Afterward, they won some free games, too, which we used later in the summer. There aren't many things to do up here in the Soo, so at least we have this!

More Golf, Ye Land Lovers...

On our way back home, we stopped at the Pirates Cove for golf again, this time in Traverse City. The one in TC has a lot more to offer that we'll explore next trip, but we had fun just golfing this time around. The kids did great, with Lily getting three 'hole-in-one's' and Trevor getting two. Brian was just all over the place, but still had a fun time. This is better than the one in Petosky, but that is a better break on the road. I'm still way behind on this stuff, so bare with me.

Golfing Pirates

Last week while heading down state, we decided to

break out trip up with a little mini-golf. We stopped at the Pirates Cove in Petosky for some fun. Lily, Trevor, and I stopped here a few years ago on our way home, but this was Brian's first time here. He loved the shark and the pirate ships. I think he just wanted to explore more than actually play the game. Trevor had three hole-in-one's, and Lily had two of them. They were really playing well, and Trevor won a free game. We might stop by the one in TC on our trip this week.

Brian Tries His Hand At Putt-Putt

We started our mini-golf season, and took Brian along this time. He's been looking forward to playing ever since the snow started to melt, and we've been talking about it. He did a pretty good job, but mostly just ran around and dropped his ball in the hole. Lily and Trevor did a great job of helping him out, and had a few good shots themselves. We had a lot of fun and plan on doing this a lot during the summer. We plan on hitting some courses in Cadillac, Traverse City, and Petosky, too.

Putting In Petoskey

On our way back up north from our little trip down to Cadillac and Grand Rapids, we decided to take some time for putt-putt golf. We passed the Pirates Cove Adventure Golf in Petoskey last time we were down this way, and knew we'd like to go there when we got the chance. The kids really enjoyed all of the Pirate props and the shark. It was the funnest time we've had golfing together yet. It also helped break up the long trip home for us.
