Darren Loves Mini-Golf

Darren's new favorite thing is to play mini-golf. He has a fantastic sweeping technique that usually puts him at 14 over par on each hole but who is counting? At least we know we are not. He has gotten a lot better and has started the last few times actually hitting the ball (as apposed to sweeping it) into the hole.

We have played Eagle Lake (Roy), Swan Lake (Layton), Fat Cats (Ogden), and Toad's (North Ogden).
When ever he puts the ball in the hole, which usually occurs a few times on each hole, he jumps up and cheers "YEEAAH, I did it!!!" It is awesome the sheer joy he gets from it. Not to mention our enjoyment watching him. He is also learning to encourage us also. Every time Carmen or I put the ball in the hole we are rewarded with the high pitched shout of , "Way to go Carmen!!" or "Way to go Daniel Roger!" (yes that is really my middle name).
So while you are inside reading this we are most likely enjoying mini-golf somewhere along the Wasatch Front.

FOUR!!

Hole in 1!

I...(GASP)...Made....(GASP)...It!

The Classic 10k

It is done! I have completed my 10k in a blistering 1 hour and 2 minutes. The weather was perfect and Darren and Carmen were there cheering when I finished. Take a look at the above picture and I will answer you question, "yes I was as tired as I looked".

The first half of the course half was up hill (not fun) and the second half went down hill (even less fun since I was tired).
After the race we walked in the Layton Park for a while. Were chased by ducks, and had donuts. We also stopped by a tree and Darren told stories. Below are a few of our favorite photos.


A great day!!!
